Youth dialogue on language justice and empowerment marks Youth Day

# Basic Education Department and the University of the Western Cape are hosting a Youth Day dialogue focused on language justice and youth empowerment. Partnering with organisations like the Trevor Noah Foundation and Kagiso Trust, the “Language Our Freedom” event honours the 1976 Soweto Uprisings. It explores African languages’ role in education, identity, and social inclusion. The gathering features learners, artists, and experts engaging on how language can be a tool of liberation and equity.
