This Virtual Youth Summit brought together youth leaders from the environmental and social justice movements from around South Africa to connect over a 2-3 week long period in June and July in an environment that prioritises connection between one another online, as well as the creation of actionable plans that can lead to accelerated momentum in the movement post covid-19 lockdown.

These online sessions tackled a wide range of topics, from interactive panels of experienced activists working in the climate movement and other social justice issues, to Climate Change and it's sciences, the link between Climate Change and other social issues, supporting the organising of youth movements in the struggles, share ideas, and experiences with other activists from across the world while also learning from groups and organisations that have been working on the climate issue in South Africa.
