Africa’s youth livelihood challenge: amplifying voices through a virtual museum

Abstract

As part of the HSRC’s The Imprint of Education (TIE) study, young researchers have developed the African Youth Livelihoods Virtual Museum. This digital platform features podcasts, webinars, art, and virtual reality experiences, amplifying marginalised voices and serving as a dissemination and advocacy tool. Through immersive storytelling and research, it highlights the complex challenges young Africans encounter in the attempt to secure sustainable livelihoods. The virtual museum offers an evolving resource for understanding and addressing youth livelihood challenges, aiming to bridge the gap between research and real-world impact while working towards sparking cross-sector dialogue and collaboration.
