Lauren Philander shares with us what it means to be a young person in Piketberg and what Youth Day means to her.

As Youth Month carries on, we hear from Kwakona Paliso what it means to be a young person in Velddrif, Bergrivier.

“The most dramatic changes in any country usually come from the youth because young people have the energy and desire to evoke change.” – Mlamuli Mbambo.

It's Youth Day in South Africa tomorrow! We asked our Codebridge Youth champions, locally and across the border, what the day means to them and what it means to be a young person where they live. Here's Denorisa Frederick from Rosh Pinah, Namibia.
