Most of us didn't get to be at the Global Disability Summit ongoing in Berlin.
I, @thealanherbert , @SharonOdongo1 & @JMwendek got a podcast opportunity to share our hopes for the #GDS courtesy of @Sightsavers (check out their handles & mine for the content from today).
As the African Youth Forum starts in Nairobi, comprehensive policy recommendations are expected to be developed for the integration of virtual learning into national education systems, alongside raising awareness about its benefits and challenges. Strategic frameworks will also be proposed to enhance the participation of youth in governance, fostering a more inclusive decision-making process.

Opening ceremony of the African Youth Forum in Nairobi. The stage is set to ensure that by embracing virtual learning and fostering good governance, Africa can democratize education and unlock the potential of its youth. Such approach not only addresses existing challenges but also positions the continent to be at the forefront of educational innovation in the 21st century.
Speakers have stressed how collaborative efforts between governments, educational institutions, the private sector, and civil society are crucial in realizing this vision.

In her opening remarks, Hon. Dahi Laila, Chairperson of the Pan-African Parliament Caucus on Youth recalled that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for resilient and adaptable education systems. Virtual learning has emerged as a viable solution to ensure continuity of education during disruptions.
She noted that for Africa’s youth, this presents an opportunity to overcome traditional barriers to education, such as geographical constraints, limited resources, and socio-economic disparities. Moreover, educating youth on good governance principles is essential for fostering a culture of accountability and transparency, which is vital for the continent's sustainable development.
