“The older generations keep saying that the youth are the leaders for tomorrow. So, we keep asking, when is tomorrow coming?”

– Kenyan Youth Activist

In Kenya, following historic protests last year, youth activists continue to advocate for change in an increasingly hostile environment. In partnership with the Columbia Global Center in Nairobi and as a part of CGT’s signature research project, “Youth in a Changing World,” this event convenes a conversation with these leaders to talk about what is at stake and what is possible for young people in the region.

Moderated by Adam Tooze, Chair of the Committee on Global Thought
Javan Ofula, Co-Founder of Dandora Community Justice Center
