We’re still celebrating International Youth Day by challenging stereotypes about young people! 💪 “Uracyari muto uzabona!” – “You’re still young, you’ll see.” 👀 Heard this one before? It’s often said to dismiss new ideas or initiatives from youth, implying they’re naive or that their dreams are unrealistic. This is another example of Juvenoia — the mistaken fear that younger generations are worse off or incapable. Young people have creativity, vision, and determination that deserve to be heard. Let’s stop telling them to “wait” and start supporting them! 💡 What’s a saying you’ve heard that misrepresents young people? Share it below and let’s debunk it together! 🧵 #YouthVoices #KatazaYouth #IYD2025 #DebunkingStereotypes #YoungAfricaWorks
