Deadline: July 30, 2023

Applications for the High School Summit 2023 are now open. The High School Summit is an annual hybrid event that brings together high school students from around Africa, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration they need to become effective changemakers in their communities and beyond. Through interactive workshops, keynote speeches from inspiring thought leaders, and opportunities for networking and collaboration, the summit offers a unique and engaging space for young changemakers to connect, learn, and take action.

The goal in hosting this event is to empower young people to become changemakers in their own right. The organisers believe that young people have the power to drive social change, and by equipping them with the necessary tools and resources, they can help them make a real impact on the world around them. During the High School Summit, attendees will explore various topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as poverty reduction, climate action, and access to education. They will learn about innovative solutions implemented in different parts of the world and have the opportunity to brainstorm their own ideas for making a difference in their communities.

Summit Theme: Student Action for Sustainable Development
