Meet Dr John Mugo and Beria Wawira – two colleagues on a mission to empower millions of young people and parents through the Zizi Afrique Foundation in Kenya. In conversation with host Christine Wilson, they ask: are we preparing young people for success in today’s fast-paced world?
John and Beria champion innovative approaches to education that go beyond simply providing young people with academic or technical knowledge. In this episode, they touch on topics such as the digital divide in education, support for young people with disabilities, and why holistic youth development matters.
Tune in to find out how John and Beria’s experience in East Africa compares with what young people around the world are telling the British Council through the Next Generation research programme.
