Countdown To The Event
As we approach the halfway point to 2030, the urgency to uphold the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has never been greater. The world faces interconnected crises, and recommitting to the SDGs is our best roadmap out of them. Failing to act decisively will lead to irreparable damage to our planet, exacerbate suffering for the most vulnerable, and erode trust in institutions. Our forthcoming conference provides a crucial platform to collaboratively address these challenges, redoubling efforts for a sustainable, equitable, and thriving global future.
With more than 75% of its people under the age of 35, Africa is undoubtedly the youngest continent in the world. Despite showing resilience and leadership skills, young Africans face enormous systemic challenges that hinder their ability to succeed in areas such as technology, entrepreneurship, leadership and community service. Shaping the Future Project, an initiative of Boys Champions Foundation addresses the lack of opportunities, resources, and mentors faced by young Africans in scaling their skills, knowledge, and potential. This project provides a platform for young people to connect with experts, mentors, and resources in these areas, empowering them to use innovation and entrepreneurship to solve the world’s biggest problems. Investing in the youth is critical to unlocking the continent’s potential for sustainable development and economic growth, and this is our commitment at Shaping the Future Project.
Shaping the Future Conference is an annual event that empowers African young people, equipping them with the knowledge, networks, skill sets and expertise to transform their communities, foster gender equality, while promoting peace and driving transformative change across diverse sectors. This conference is a platform for leaders in government, industry experts, entrepreneurs, private enterprises, non-profit organizations, academia, and civil society to exchange ideas and collaborate on actionable solutions to Africa’s developmental challenges.
Our mission is to facilitate conversations that
translate into actions on sustainable development
goals, leadership, social justice, education, and
innovation. We are on a mission to amplify the voices
poli of YOUNG AFRICANS in GLOBAL RESPONSIBLITY making, driving innovative solutions and participants include young people, policymakers and government officials, industry experts, public and
private enterprises, non-profits, academia, and civil
society organizations. The conference will bring
together more than 1,000 delegates from diverse
backgrounds to learn, exchange ideas, explore
innovative solutions, and forge partnerships for
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our vision is to be the catalyst that connects and elevates the status and influence of young leaders and entrepreneurs, and their contributions to nation building.
