Os jovens imaginam, criam, questionam e lideram mudan\u00e7as nas suas comunidades, demonstrando que, embora os seus contextos possam ser diferentes, as suas esperan\u00e7as de um futuro melhor permanecem profundamente ligadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Em \u00c1frica, em particular, o crescimento da popula\u00e7\u00e3o jovem representa um enorme potencial de transforma\u00e7\u00e3o social e econ\u00f3mica para os jovens e para toda a comunidade africana.
