The Digital Youth Festival (DYF) is a ground-breaking initiative spearheaded by Africa Beyond 4IR (AB4IR), meticulously designed to serve as an impactful platform. Its primary objective is to provide comprehensive exposure to the digital realm, unraveling its advantages and challenges for the youth of South Africa. This visionary endeavor is specifically tailored to address the needs of the youth residing in disadvantaged areas, where access to resources and exposure to the digital economy is limited. By extending a helping hand to this underserved demographic, the festival aspires to bridge the digital divide and empower and uplift these young individuals, opening doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain elusive.
