The 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit is lighting up Beijing this week with a bold vision: uniting youth to drive innovation and cultural exchange. Under the theme \"Joining Hands to Advance Modernization,\" the event spotlights how young leaders from Africa and the Chinese mainland are rewriting the playbook for global collaboration.
In a special episode of The Hype, CGTN host Shen Shiwei sits down with Tanzanian economist Khalifa Mtumwa and Beninese actress Alazi Soumaila Rawdoth. From agritech startups to cross-continental scholarships, they break down \"win-win\" opportunities in education, agriculture, and creative industries that are empowering Gen Z to lead.
\"China’s green energy projects trained over 1,000 African students last year alone,\" Mtumwa shares, while Rawdoth highlights cultural fusion in film: \"African stories told through Chinese storytelling techniques? That’s how bridges are built.\"
With youth unemployment hitting record highs globally, FOCAC’s focus on skills development and tech partnerships offers a roadmap for tomorrow’s changemakers. Tune in to see how this summit isn’t just about policies—it’s about people.
