This episode’s discussion with three African writers and cultural practitioners asks how we imagine the future in situations where we may lack resources or feel cut off from opportunities. In contexts of poverty and deprivation, how do young people in Africa think about tomorrow? We also talk about the tools that work well to imagine the future.
Participants:
Aleya Kassam (LAM Sisterhood, Kenya), Mako Muzenda (Independent Researcher, Zimbabwe), Jonny Steinberg (Yale/WiSER)

This episode is a conversation about how storytelling works in empowering ways in in situations of intervention in African contexts. We discuss how our work on motivation and storytelling helps to ground interventions in particular contexts and to make them relatable and own-able for people.
In this episode of ‘Understanding Adolescence in African Contexts’, we look at the kinds of stories that have worked for us in our different activities (teaching, writing, activist groups, social work), and we explore further the things we might do with narrative interventions.
