An Annual Celebration

The Global Black Youth Fest 2020 was a 2-day, virtual event that created intentional & alternative spaces for the advancement of Black perspectives, scholarship, positions and conditions on a global scale.

The interactive event featured plenary sessions, debates, workshops, networking, thematic, regional and globally based discussions running concurrently, culminating in a live concert! Black youth engaged in a dialogue with each other to discuss policy frameworks and promote innovative, institutionalized approaches and initiatives that address global challenges.

The GBY Fest was an opportunity for a rich exchange of views and ideas on the implementation of the objectives of The International Decade for People of African Descent and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development put forth by the United Nations.
