Sudanese Youth..Pioneers of Digital Change for a Sustainable Future – Something for the Homeland – ✍️ Mr. Salah Ghariba
The celebration of International Youth Day 2024 (12 August), under the slogan “From Click to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways to Sustainable Development”, highlights the central role that youth play in the era of digital transformation and how they can harness technology as a powerful tool to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In this context, the role of Sudanese youth, especially those residing in Egypt, in this changing landscape cannot be ignored.
Sudanese youth in Egypt are a vibrant and diverse community, characterized by creativity and ambition. They represent the bridge of communication between Sudanese and Egyptian cultures, carrying within them an intense desire to contribute to building a better future for their homeland and host countries. These young people have proven their ability to have a positive impact in various fields, through youth initiatives and entrepreneurial projects benefiting from digital technology.
Sudanese youth in Egypt can effectively contribute to achieving the goals of this year's slogan by creating digital content. They can produce digital content to raise awareness of sustainable development issues and encourage others to participate in achieving these goals, in addition to **developing applications. and websites:** They can design and develop applications and websites that contribute to solving societal problems, such as smart agricultural applications or distance learning applications, while leveraging social media. They can use social media platforms to raise awareness of environmental and societal issues, organize campaigns for change, and take an interest in participating in events and conferences. They can participate in events and conferences that discuss youth and sustainable development issues and exchange experiences with young people of different nationalities.
The media plays a vital role in highlighting the efforts of Sudanese youth in Egypt and reinforcing their positive image. The media can cover the activities and initiatives undertaken by Sudanese youth, which helps encourage others to join them, in addition to conducting interviews with successful Sudanese youth, hearing their stories and experiences, and organizing open dialogues between youth and decision-makers to discuss issues that concern them.
There is still a lack of research and studies addressing the reality of Sudanese youth in Egypt, their challenges and aspirations. This need becomes increasingly important in light of the rapid changes the world is witnessing, which require us to better understand the needs and aspirations of young people.
Sudanese youth in Egypt represent an inestimable human wealth and are capable of achieving great achievements in various fields. By supporting them and providing them with opportunities, we can build a better future for all.

The need to provide a stimulating environment for creativity and innovation for Sudanese youth in Egypt.
Support youth initiatives aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Encourage cooperation between government institutions, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to support youth.
Conduct further research and studies to assess the needs of young people and develop appropriate programs for them.
