This debate explores the critical role that Generation Z—the world’s youngest, most connected, and most diverse generation—can play in redefining and safeguarding democracy.
In an era of digital transformation, rising authoritarianism, and shifting civic values, Gen Z is emerging not just as voters but as activists, innovators, watchdogs, and policy influencers.
On Citizens’ Hour today, we will examine how Gen Z is using technology, social movements, and new media to hold leaders accountable, expand civic spaces, and promote inclusive governance, shaping the future of democratic governance.
Our guests are Ndegen Jobe, the Deputy Speaker, National Youth Parliament of The Gambia; Ernest Duku Jallah, the Head of Secretariat Youth Legislative Caucus-Liberia National Legislature and Korletey Jorbua Obuadey- African Youth Activist, Ghana.
