SARSYC VI

Align for Action: Sustaining Progress in Youth Health and Education

#DrivingRegionalSolidarity

SARSYC VI brought together hundreds of young leaders, researchers, policymakers, and changemakers from across Southern Africa for three unforgettable days of learning, connection, and action. From powerful youth-led research and inspiring conversations to regional partnerships and bold commitments, the conference amplified youth voices and sparked solutions for the challenges facing young people today. The adoption of the Windhoek Declaration marked a collective commitment to turning ideas into action and creating lasting impact across the region. One region. Bold Ideas. Stronger partnerships. Youth-led action. The conference may be over, but the conversations and movement continue.
