The Young Global Leaders Network (YGLN), is calling for submissions of poems, original research papers on any of the panel topics for the summit, photography or other visual arts for publication in the brochure for its second edition of the Young African Leaders Summit (Y.A.L.S 2021). We are especially interested in underrepresented voices of all kinds that convey a unique perspective and an insight into the African world.
Previously published work/papers will not be considered, and this includes work published on social media and personal websites. The research papers will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
• Content and relevance in terms of Africa’s development
• Innovation and creativity.
• Entrepreneurship, climate change
• Any of the topics to be treated at the Summit
Publications will be credited to respective writers.
