The Clement Isong Foundation has announced a call for applications for the Youth SDG Storytelling and Solutions Convergence, targeting passionate youths across Akwa Ibom State. The initiative seeks to spotlight real stories and bold solutions addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) challenges at the community level.
“Not all heroes wear crowns, some are young people who raise their voices, solve problems, or simply care enough to act,” the foundation stated. Applicants are encouraged to share impactful experiences or actions that address pressing local issues, including:
i. No clean water?
ii. Poor access to education?
iii. Youth unemployment?
iv. Climate change or pollution?
The program will take place as part of the International Youth Day 2025 activities, with a focus on youth-led responses to real SDG issues in Akwa Ibom. Organizers say the event will “amplify youth voices, showcase SDG realities, and explore how young people are leading the way in solving development challenges.”
In commemoration of International Youth Day, the foundation is inviting young changemakers to participate in an initiative tagged “My SDG Story and Solution Convergence.” The aim is to inspire action, promote sustainable development, and encourage community-based solutions.
The deadline for applications is August 9. Interested participants are required to apply through the provided link, share their stories, describe their actions, and upload a 60-second video demonstrating passion and commitment to change.
