Launch of Empowered Youth Platform Praised by Students, College and Presenters

The launch of the Empowered Youth platform in London on the weekend drew praise from the students who attended, Waltham Forest College who hosted the workshops and the high-profile presenters who inspired and guided the audience on how to achieve fulfilling lifestyles and careers.

Introduced to the United Kingdom by Pride Factor, the South African based life skills academy dedicated to ‘Inspiring Young Minds’, the inaugural event comprised two motivational workshops, one for teenagers and the other for young adults, which attracted more than 120 students on 9 and 10 November.

“

“The Empowered Youth Event was the total embodiment of our vision at the College, which is Inspiring learners to create their future, we believe in investing in our students’ experience as well as their academic success, and therefore decided to partner with Pride Factor to deliver this highly energetic experience, which encourages our young and adult learners to broaden their aspirations, identify their passions and fulfil their purpose. We look forward to further collaborations with Pride Factor.”

Presented in conjunction with several business gurus and motivational speakers from the Greg Secker Foundation, Wealth Dragons, Assets for Life, Win Investing, Jet Set Speaker and Left Click Right Click, the workshops addressed themes such as Financial Literacy, Critical Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Emotional Intelligence and Super Human Skills.

Carolina Lunga attended the workshop for teenagers on Saturday and was excited because she saw it a huge opportunity.

Those at the Sunday workshop for young adults concurred that the content met their expectations and improved their lives.

Dene Botha, the MD of Pride Factor, was the Master of Ceremonies for the workshops and introduced all the speakers, including Chris Farrell, co-author of FUNancial Freedom; Millcan CEO Ayo Sage and thriving entrepreneurs Clare Allen from Signature Productions and Nina Clark from Nightire.

“

“Great to serve at the Empowered Youth event, proud to be a sponsor and contributor to what started as a dream in South Africa with the Inspired Youth programme. That has now grown beyond the 50,000 young people we have served abroad and starts its campaign to change the lives of young people on home turf.”
