The 11th Annual Green Youth Indaba marks an exciting new chapter as it heads to the North West Province for the very first time. As the third province to host the Indaba, North West becomes part of a growing national journey to connect young people across South Africa to innovation, opportunity, and sustainable development.

From 15–19 June 2026, the province will host a dynamic week of engagement, learning, and action, bringing together learners, young entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders and partners under one platform.

Attendees can look forward to a diverse programme featuring high-level dialogues, skills-building masterclasses, the Green Youth Careers Expo, the Young Researchers’ Pitch, the Green Innovators’ Pitch, and the Green Youth Champion Awards, all designed to move young people from potential to participation.

Whether you are exploring future careers, developing research, scaling a business, or seeking meaningful partnerships, the Green Youth Indaba offers a space where ideas are elevated, connections are built, and the next generation of green leaders is empowered.
Let us usher in a new decade of impact, together.
