Earlier this week, Cityzens Giving Young Leaders around the world celebrated International Education Day by leading football-based activities to educate and uplift kids in their communities.
Events kicked off with a series of small group discussions between Cisco experts and young leaders in 15 cities on the role of technology and football in education.
Cisco speakers from all five continents volunteered their time to connect with young leaders via Cisco Webex, listen to their experiences and share learnings and advice.
Discussion topics ranged from school memories and inspiring role models to the digital divide and the struggles in many communities of access to the internet and devices, the challenges and opportunities that lockdowns have provided, young leaders’ experiences of virtual program delivery, and how technology can help Cityzens Giving projects to run smarter in the future.
