Daring to Shift: Rooted in Digital

Daring to Shift: Rooted in Digital

This hybrid session focused on a model of youth-led development and innovation in which young people are positioned as drivers of their own livelihoods, as peer-to-peer trainers, coaches, role models and knowledge shares in their communities. Participants heard from Digital Opportunity Trust’s (DOT’s) Digital Champions from Africa and the Middle East, as they shared their experiences and discussed digital skills at scale, for development, for the future of work and how we can all “Dare to Shift” and place young people – particularly young women at the Centre of local, sustainable and inclusive Growth.
