With just a day left at the summit, here are some big questions I want to leave with my fellow young people—questions to take home and really think about after #YouthConnektAfrica2024:

1. How can I prepare myself to be up on a panel at the next summit, sharing my own story and insights?

2. What new ideas or innovations did I discover that I can bring back and showcase in my community?

3. Did anything I learned spark a business idea I could actually turn into a reality?

4. How can I capture the spirit of Youth Connect and organize something similar back home to empower others?

5. Who did I meet here that I could collaborate with on a project or initiative that goes beyond borders?

6. What skills did I learn here that I should keep building on to make an even bigger impact?

7. What key issues from the summit really hit home for me, and what steps can I take to address them in my own community?

8. How can I share what I learned here to inspire, educate, and empower other young people around me?

9. What career moves or growth opportunities could I explore with the network and insights I gained?

10. And for my fellow Rwandan youth—how can we come back next time with real stories of the jobs and initiatives we’ve created through the connections we made here?

Let’s keep these questions in mind to help turn everything we’ve gained from the summit into real, lasting change.
