PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

SA Youth Manifesto

The Future, In Their Own Words

 

South Africa’s youth aren’t waiting for change—they’re demanding it. The South African Youth Manifesto flips the script, turning young people from passive listeners into active agenda-setters. The South African Youth Manifesto is more than a book; it’s a movement that puts the voices of young people at the center of politics. Instead of waiting for promises, they’re setting the agenda, shaping policy, and holding leaders accountable. Read on to discover how this manifesto is redefining youth participation in democracy.
