Glocal Hubs
YouthxYouth Glocal Hubs are our locally-rooted, globally-supported homes for youth-led transformation of education, facilitated by resident youth weavers in partnership with allies and institutions to accelerate the process of young people influencing, designing, and creating systemic change.
Our Deepening Roots
Since inception, we have launched nine Glocal hubs across six countries: Nigeria (Lagos, Ogun), South Africa (Cape Town), Uganda (Kampala, Nakivale, and Namutumba), Tanzania (Dar es Salaam), Cameroon (Yaounde), and Kenya (Mbita).
Addressing issues around; unemployment through digital skills and upskilling youths in vocational centres, inaccessible school fees, corporal punishment in schools, peace education in refugee camps and waring countries, digital safety for girls, and empowering women in regenerative agriculture.
We empower local youth with the skills to collaboratively address these challenges.
Discuss & deepen their collective and self-understanding of WHAT IS
Here we focus on sensemaking and meaning making, introducing approaches like systems change to better understand the root causes of the issues young people are interested in addressing.
Inspire & uplift one another to reimagine WHAT IF and reclaim their education
Here, we practice radical and moral imagination, reviving a key capacity we need to move forward and focusing on the potential we want towards.
Ask WHAT NOW & take action with their local communities to address real challenges
Finally, we focus on building our personal and collective capacity for action, reflecting on what steps are needed to bridge the gap between “what is” and “what if.”
