OSHIKOTO Youth Forum will host its first-ever regional public lecture and youth expo with the aim of engaging the youth on various social issues.
The event kicks off tomorrow (Wednesday) and will conclude 8th of October at Uukule Secondary School, and will be held under the theme: “Young people finding solutions to their challenges”.
Chairperson of the forum Martin-Olembe Antindi, said the cornerstone for the lecture theme has been influenced by the large number of unemployed young people that mostly want government to provide employment, rather than developing their own opportunities.
Antindi explains that they choose to have a public lecture for the reason that when young people mostly gather together they only engage in entertainment. Hence they decided to include the lecture to share talks with the youth.
“All residents and more especially the youth are urged to attend and be inspired,” he said.
Minister of Information, Communication and Technology Peya Mushelenga will officially open the event.
