Fifteen youth leaders. Three tables. Ten minutes each. One podcast.
This week in Arua, #TeamEurope didn't just observe a youth programme — we sat inside one. Engaged with Young leaders from West Nile, hosted by @SensitiseUganda under PACER (DK🇩🇰🇸🇪🇮🇪🇳🇱 co-funded).

Media is becoming a powerful driver of tourism and the 5th edition of the Rwenzori Marathon proved exactly that. 🏃🏾♂️⛰️
With World Athletics streaming the marathon live and commentators bringing the experience to audiences beyond Uganda, the event reached thousands of people.
This visibility created opportunities for local businesses, tourism sites and the region’s wider economic growth.

Did you know? In some West Nile districts, 9 out of 10 children who start school never finish.
On Saturday, we partnered with @RadioPacisnews to convene a District Dialogue on Education in Arua District.

This is how it starts. 😂
You run for fun, then suddenly you’re training for marathons.
If you’re looking for a community to run with, @AKARUNCLUB is free to join. We’ve grown from 3 people to almost 1,000 members in Uganda and honestly, the community is the best part.
Running might look easy, but getting started? That’s a whole different story. 🏃🏾♀️
For Racheal, finding her stride has been a journey of resilience, lessons and self-discovery. She caught up with our Switcher, Shiba Nakakande, for a switched-up chat on the highs, the lows and everything running has taught her along the way.@ShibaNakakande.

With Uganda’s Tenfold Growth Strategy looking toward a bigger economy by 2040, young people say accountability must be part of the journey. For them, it’s not just about creating opportunities. It’s about making sure commitments turn into action and young people have a voice in shaping the country’s future.

What does it take to create more opportunities for young people in Uganda?
To thrive, the conversation cannot stop at identifying challenges it must also focus on building partnerships that turn opportunities into lasting opportunities.

We joined our partners Baraza Media Lab, IMS and DDI in Kampala for a timely conversation on climate misinformation and disinformation and the stories and voices that often get overlooked.
It was a powerful space for journalists, activists, CSOs and Indigenous Peoples to share experiences, challenge narratives and reflect on how climate information reaches communities.
Are climate stories misheard or unheard?
Climate misinformation and disinformation can shape how communities understand and respond to climate action. Baraza Media Lab, with IMS, brought journalists, activists, CSOs and Indigenous Peoples together in Kampala to map where these stories emerge and whose voices are missing.

So amazing to hear the testimony’s of young people who attended our Nordic Partnership Day workshops this week. Artistic interaction and collaboration across borders is a powerful way to inspire each other✨
The Nordic-Uganda Partnership Day brought together diplomats, locak leaders, and next-generation creatives to discuss Youth, Culture & Collaboration at the Danish Ambassador’s Residence in Kololo, Kampala.
We spoke with young attendees who gave their perspective on the significance of the Nordic-Uganda Partnership to Uganda’s youth in the cultural and creative sectors.

During a podcast conversation at the Nordic Uganda Partnership Day, @DKAmbUganda highlighted the need for young people to stay vigilant against misinformation and disinformation.
As some of the most exposed to false information online, young people have a key role to play in questioning what they see, verify before sharing, and making informed decisions.
#NordicUG Partnership Day.

Building a strong and dynamic industry for young people requires strategic partnerships that drive sustainability. At the Nordic Uganda Partnership Day, the importance of these partnerships was emphasised as key to creating lasting opportunities for young people today.
