Generation Digital

Project Background

The Generation Digital Project is a bold youth-led initiative championed by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) alongside 10 dynamic youth organizations. This project is committed to empowering young people and student leaders to become influential advocates for digital transformation in education.

By tackling key challenges such as limited digital skills, gender disparities, and a lack of EdTech training for teachers Generation Digital is building a movement to reshape learning environments across Africa and beyond. Through mentorship, advocacy, and strategic campaigns, the project strives to close the digital divide, foster inclusion in STEM, and ensure youth voices are front and center in education policy-making.
