Learning, Leading, Thriving - Youth from Uganda

On World Youth Skills Day, we celebrate the determination and achievements of Indigenous youth as they embrace new skills while honouring the wisdom and traditions passed down through generations. Skills development opens doors to education, employment, innovation, and self-reliance, enabling young people to become confident leaders and positive role models in their communities. This day reminds us that when Indigenous youth are given equal access to opportunities, they can thrive and make lasting contributions to society while preserving their unique cultural heritage. Cultural Survival spoke to Mary Goretty of the Karamoja people of Uganda, who told us about the opportunities and challenges of the indigenous youth in her region. Interviewee: Mary Goretty Eyoh (Karamoja) Producer: Shaldon Ferris (Khoi/San) Music: Whispers by Ziibiwan, used with permission.
