CLOSING REMARKS

Join us for “Coding the Future: What AI Means for the African Child” on Friday, June 12 at 10:00 AM ED celebrating the Day of African Child.

This FREE webinar features a powerful conversation with young voices exploring how technology is shaping identity, opportunity, and the future of Africa

Through real stories and dialogue, we will discuss how AI is impacting daily life, what skills matter most for the next generation, and how African culture and innovation can thrive in a rapidly changing digital world. Together, we’ll reflect on challenges, opportunities, and the role of education, leadership, and creativity in empowering youth

This is more than a conversation, it’s a vision for a future where African children don’t just adapt to technology but help shape it.
