What should education look like after 2030? We’re asking young people aged 11–30 worldwide to weigh in on three key questions:
▶️Your vision: What kind of world do you want to live in?
▶️The education you want: What changes are needed in the way you learn?
▶️Your action: What are you willing to do to make it happen?
Your experience is the expertise we need. It only takes a few minutes to share your views and help redefine the classroom of the future.

If we want to dismantle gender-based violence, we have to start with the words we use.
Transformative women’s leadership is about recognizing that advocacy language isn't just about policy it’s about building narrative power. We remain intentional about crafting feminist messaging that centers survivors, exposes systemic gaps, and demands radical change.

Township entrepreneurs don’t lack ambition; they lack access to finance that works for them.
Township Spark is reshaping how finance reaches the township economy, grounded in listening to entrepreneurs themselves.

Millions work but remain poor.
#SocialSummit2025 must deliver on decent work — fair pay, safe conditions, and social protection for all women and men.
Because work should be a path to progress, not a trap of survival.

READ (Op-Ed): Township businesses built a R1-trillion economy without the system — yet 80% are still labelled “informal”.
As Maxwell @GomeraM & Miles Kubheka argue in the @dailymaverick: it’s not informal, it’s the independent economy.

Shared prosperity is a choice — and the time to choose it is now.
We know what works: reimagining development finance, building stronger partnerships, and investing in women and youth.
Let’s take it to the next level — from South Africa, with Africa and to the world.
