Solidarity between young people in the UK and southern Africa is more important now then it has ever been.
Whilst recent democratic elections in the region are a cause to celebrate, we cannot forget some of the problems that southern Africa faces today;
HIV/AIDS is at record levels throughout the region
Zimbabwe and Swaziland suffer from a lack of democracy, justice and rights
Many young people lack access to free education
The legacy of Apartheid lives on through inequality, underdevelopment and poverty
ACTSA works with student’s unions, NUS, youth groups, teaching unions and schools to raise awareness of these issues, engaging in projects which help to build a better future for young people in southern Africa.
Youth and student consultation
ACTSA is currently planning a project working with youth and students in the UK to raise awareness of the key issues affecting southern Africa. We are interested to find out what young people think are the key issues affecting the region, and what they would like to find out more about.
You can take part in ACTSA's youth and student consultation by downloading and completing the form below.
Please return your form to ACTSA at info@actsa.org by Friday 12 March.
