CRITICAL DIALOGUE
A youth-driven Critical Dialogue Live-Streamed directly to our online platforms
Tuesday, 7 April 2020 | 19:00 – 20:30
#StayHomeSA
The effect of COVID19 on SA youth: Before the global pandemic COVID19 reached our shores, South Africa was plagued with a highly unequal society. Youth were among the most vulnerable, with a staggeringly high youth unemployment rate. In this online Critical Dialogue our panelists, comprised of change-making youth, will discuss the social, economic and psychological effects of COVID19 on South Africa’s young people. What will our new normal be and will we find the creative solutions and resources to tackle new and existing problems?
