Qu’advient-il dès lors que les jeunes étudiants africains, employés et chômeurs, saisissent les opportunités offertes par les nouvelles technologies ? Durant cette session, les intervenants présentent des exemples dévoilant la manière dont les TIC permettent aux jeunes de trouver leur propre voie, raconter leurs propres histoires et revendiquer leurs espaces pour un développement personnel.
