Arts and culture industry giants set to inspire South Africa's youth
On 17 September, youth who are looking to build a career or business in the arts and culture industry will be given access to invaluable advice, information, and inspiration from some of the industry's top young talent, including internationally recognised stylist, Trevor Stuurman and GALXBOY founder, Thatiso Dube.
The YouthX Live event, which will take place at The Station in Durban and be streamed online, forms a part of the second edition of Nedbank's YouthX movement which aims to provide an exchange platform for the youth to inspire the next step in their early careers or business ventures.
