SESLA: Participatory Video Voice Research and Most Significant Change
Sport for Education and Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa (SESLA) is an initiative in response to the fact that one in four young people in Africa – around 72 million – are not in formal education, employment or training.
Launched in 2024 by Laureus Sport for Good, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and with the support of key African sport and social development institutions, SESLA leverages sport to empower young people in Africa to create more sustainable futures for themselves and their communities
