Celebrating Youth Day!

Youth Day is a South African holiday that falls on June 16. It celebrates the contribution of young people to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. The date honors a children`s protest match that took place on June 16, 1976, in the Soweto townships near Johannesburg. Youth Day is also known as Soweto Day.
The meaning of Youth Day is rooted in the Soweto Uprising when thousands of high school students courageously protested against the use of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools.
This day serves as a day for reflection and empowerment as well as celebrating the youth at home. You don’t need a big event to honor Youth Day. Celebrate at home with honest conversations and shared stories. Create crafts inspired by freedom and unity. Watch a documentary or film that brings history to life. These simple moments help younger generations connect with the past.
