aRISE is online event focusing on Youth, opportunities and challengesfacing them. aRISE started with an eight- hour digital benefit festival thatcelebrates young African individuals who have used social media, a smartphone,a garage, and their created networks to take their own developmentinto their own hands.We celebrate those who continue to build from the ground up using theircreativity and skills to potentially change the economic landscape of ourcountry.aRISE Festival brings audiences an experience of proudly African contenttouching on topics such as Education, The 4th Industrial revolution, Youthentrepreneurship, Fashion and the Creative Industry Ecosystem, Financeand many more.Through music performances, poetry and conversations young creatives,entrepreneurs, developers and aspiring leaders within the African continentwill present their articulations on the new age approach developmentplatforms, namely the internet, as the future present.Young people are the leaders of tomorrow. This necessitates adevelopmental focus on them as a sector. It calls for programs that willassist them to unplug some of the challenges they come across in theirquest to develop and harness their creativity, innovative skills andintellectual rights in different sectors.
