Given that much of the available platforms in SA and elsewhere are broad and targeted at a national or an international level, this being the case whether we are talking about economics, history, art, music or platforms centered on these,
we felt it was necessary to present the areas mentioned i.e economics, history, art, music with a local eye. As for history, a branch of humanities just as economics, art and music remains relevant, not just for restorative purposes but revival of the memories that continue to shape todays world. The other motivation behind the platform is a need to challenge myths, even fallacies regarding the continent and support the promotion of speedy African economic growth. The platform will also encourage sharing of information, towards an African economy that works. We are determined to ensure we focus on young people. Many are skilled, however the information is not reaching the spaces young people occupy. The platform will not claim to be the only voice as similar platforms may exist and will continue to exist however aims to add possible solutions to the challenges faced.
