Vezi gives his thoughts as we get ready to begin!

As the lead facilitator of the Youth Summit, I am excited to share my vision and expectations. Let me say that this is not an event and it is not training, although participants will learn more than they have ever learnt in any training they have attended before.

So what is it? The Summit is a platform for change in our journey to true Renaissance in Africa. As the word suggests, the summit is a place where we will survey where we have come from and where we need to get to as young people in Africa. It will be an opportunity for us to confront what is on our way so we can get to where we need to go.

We will deliberate on and develop action plans for what it means to be a citizen – a young leader who has the skills and confidence to engage with churches, communities and governments to make positive changes. We will leave with belief that change starts with us and as we live this change, we will make significant positive impact in our societies. And then we will do it and make it happen!

I look forward to sharing more with you during the Summit…
