VFAFNETNG’s Symposium

VFAFNETNG’s Symposium is an international effort, involving more than 200youths to focus research efforts in both the African economy and leadership. In order to secure youth involvement in all aspects of the VFAFNETNG’s Symposium, the Youth Participating Committee (YPC) was formed, aiming specifically to network young business and leadership researchers from all backgrounds to enable collaboration and to involve this group in outreach focused towards other young people.  To help fulfill this mandate, the YPC has developed the concept of the International Youth Economic and Leadership Symposium 2017.  Proposed for 2017, this Forum will bring together youth from a diverse set of backgrounds and ideologies to discuss the issues affecting the Nigeria, their effects on a global scale and ways of addressing these issues.  The Forum will also serve to highlight ongoing Vision for Africa Foundation Network, NG research, especially research being undertaken by youths.

International Youth Economic and Leadership Symposium 2017 will focus on interactive events, on youth attendance and participation, interdisciplinary meetings and policy recommendations imagined by youth to provide a perennial framework for youth involvement in the economic development and leadership policies.

International Youth Economic and Leadership Symposium 2017 will be of great importance to the youths because it will serve as the principle venue and preparatory avenue for 2018 where youth from many different disciplines, backgrounds and cultures will be able to gather and interact.  It will allow VFAFNETNG to showcase the work of youth to both the media and the general public at large.  It will inspire many youths to become more actively involved in business and leadership researches and issues, while reinforcing for those currently undertaking these endeavours the importance of their contribution.  It will provide the opportunity for a highly motivated group of youth passionate about the innovations in business.

Youths to connect, forming a network that they will be able to draw upon in the future.  

International Youth Economic and Leadership Symposium 2017 will plant the seeds of a new style of research for the Nigeria.  Participants will see the value of research in various fields of the economy very different from their own and how this work may be applicable to their own studies.  Young researchers will have the opportunity to talk to youths present at the International Youth Economic and Leadership Symposium 2017 and learn from them the best approaches to working in Nigerian business communities.  Young people working on research and policy will have the opportunity to interact, allowing policy workers to emphasize the need for policy relevant documents coming from the research community.  Ultimately these interactions will contribute to the next generation of young researchers, policy makers and leaders being better equipped and more willing to work together and across disciplines than has been the case in the past.  This will hopefully allow them to better address some of the issues faced by the Nigeria.
