The Youth Charter ‘30’ South Africa report marks an incredible journey from the Streets of Moss Side, Manchester to the townships of South Africa and the resulting social, cultural, economic and political changes that now see the Sport for Development and Peace movement part of the sporting and global communities.
This event brought together a diverse and intergenerational gathering of representatives from public, private, NGO, community and third sector, government and youth organisations to witness and receive the Executive Summary to the 140-page report reflecting the three decades of the agency’s work. Pupils from Selelekela High School and Phefeni Secondary School in Soweto provided the #Youthwise energy, enthusiasm and enthralment with their singing and dancing contributing to the spirit of Ubuntu and sharing their gifts, talent and potential with all present. The Youth Charter ‘30’ South Africa Report launch and #Call2Action proposals supported the South African Government’s Youth Month 2023 theme: “Accelerating youth economic emancipation for a sustainable future”
