In this episode of the Youthful and Useful podcast, we will discuss the importance of leveraging digital technology and the variety of opportunities it presents. And the chat on this topic is with the Senior e-Learning Coordinator at LEAP Africa, Ferdinand Eruka.

On today’s episode, we will be discussing a topic that is both interesting and pivotal to the actualization of the transformation we all want. Young people often talk about how passionate they are about different things, from fashion to music, art, technology, leadership and in very recent times, politics. It is great to identify what one is passionate about but how do you harness that passion and create magic with it?

In Africa, we are in a very interesting time in our history, and it is because, in every country of the continent, we have, more than 20 - 30% of young people constituting part of the entire population. And if this youth bulge is harnessed effectively, or seen as capital, it has the opportunity to kick start Africa’s economic narrative. " - Femi Balogun
