Youth Video Competition
The S8nations Youth Video Competition, a flagship initiative by S8nations, is a dynamic platform designed to amplify the voices of young individuals in a meaningful intergenerational dialogue within national policymaking. At the heart of our mission is the empowerment of youths, inspiring them to be not only contributors but also changemakers. We believe in fostering a future where transformation and progress are embraced, and through this competition, we invite and encourage young visionaries to actively shape a better world through their innovative perspectives and impactful contributions. Join us in the pursuit of a brighter future—where the youth's influence and ideas drive positive change on a national scale
OUR THEME: HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT THE FUTURE FIRST?
Picture a world where the youth stand at the forefront of change, challenging norms, and reshaping destinies. Our theme aims to beckon young minds to not merely anticipate the future but actively reclaim it, encouraging them to reimagine a reality where the tomorrows defy the patterns of the yesterdays. In this captivating exploration, we implore our youths to ponder: How can we weave the fabric of tomorrow differently? What pearls of wisdom lie hidden in societies that have gracefully arrived at the future ahead of their time?
This isn’t just a competition; it is an opportunity for young visionaries to unearth transformative insights, weaving them into the fabric of our shared future. Journey alongside us as we unravel the tales of small nations that have dared to dream big, offering profound lessons that transcend their size.
