The June 2016 Youth month commemoration period coincides with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund processes of implementing and executing the new 2016-2021 strategy.
​
June 16 is a particularly interesting date because of its historic commemoration of the Soweto uprisings of 1976.

In terms of five year strategy of the Fund (2016 to 2021), one of its programmes called Youth Leadership, is anchored on the phenomenon of Youth Think Tanks that will enable young South Africans to highlight and find solutions to issues affecting them.  The programme will focus on:
  • Ethical leadership 
  • Civic participation
  • Human rights  
  • Youth entrepreneurship

​The Fund’s continued focus on youth development and empowerment is informed by research and empirical evidence; its focus is emboldened by the latest depressing figures from Statistics South Africa ranging from low levels of education to high unemployment rate affecting youth.
The goal of the Fund’s youth leadership programme is to provide youth from all walks of life with a platform that will enable them to lead and become agents of their own change.

The Fund and the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital (NMCH) will kick off the Youth Leadership programme by hosting an inter-generational dialogue called Conversations for Development aimed at breaking barriers between the young and the old.

he theme of the day is “the South Africa I would like to live in” and participants will be tackling various issues that are currently affecting South Africa.
The June 15 event will be held at the Fund’s Offices and will draw participants from all walks of life and discussions will be reflected on all our social media platforms.
