From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways to Sustainable Development

 Charles Omordia

Good morning, distinguished guests, youth of today, and fellow Deltans, it is an honour to stand before you as we celebrate the 2024 International Youth Week with the theme, "From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways to Sustainable Development." This theme highlights the transformative power of the digital world and its potential to reshape the future for our youth and society.

The Digital Age: Opportunities at Our Fingertips

We are living in an era of unprecedented digital revolution. The internet, social media, and digital platforms have opened new opportunities that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. Whether through e-commerce, content creation, or freelancing, today’s youth can leverage digital tools to achieve financial independence and foster sustainable development.

One click can now unlock vast potential. From starting businesses on Instagram to learning cutting-edge skills through platforms like Schoolville Academy, digital tools have become powerful pathways for progress and innovation.

The Role of Youth in Digital Transformation

Our youth are at the forefront of this transformation. With the right digital skills, you can develop solutions that tackle critical challenges like poverty, illiteracy, and climate change. By leveraging technology, you can create businesses that generate employment and contribute to sustainable development.

Pathways to Sustainable Development

1. Embrace Lifelong Learning and Digital Literacy
2. Create and Innovate Responsibly
3. Collaborate and Build Networks

Collaboration is needed between the government, private sector, and educational institutions to promote digital literacy and provide internet access. Companies like Schoolville are committed to empowering youth with the skills they need.

Conclusion

In closing, every click you make has the potential to change the world. I urge you to seize these digital opportunities to drive progress and build a more sustainable future. 

Thank you and may the progress we make today create lasting impacts for generations to come.
