"Lastly, as an activist, take time off and rest because activism burnout is real. Know when to step back and recharge." @MadeleinaKay during the #InternationalYouthDay2025 webinar under the theme 'From Local to Global: Leveraging the AU-EU Partnership for Local Youth Action.'
"There is also great value in creating communities and working with other groups. This approach builds diverse teams that bring together unique talents, making the work richer and more impactful." @MadeleinaKay.
"I also believe strongly in the power of social media. It can be used both positively and negatively, but for me, it has been crucial. Social media captures the attention of the public and the press, and if you can get media coverage for your campaigns, it can take your message a long way." @MadeleinaKay
@MadeleinaKay shares how young artists and activists can benefit or improve their activism, #InternationalYouthDay2025 webinar under the theme 'From Local to Global: Leveraging the AU-EU Partnership for Local Youth Action.'
"As an artist, I believe in the power to inspire people. By raising awareness and creating platforms for young people to share their voices, we can go a long way in driving change."
