Abstract
  • Over 60% of Botswana�s population is below the age of 35. With such a young population, Botswana holds a huge potential for progress and change. Young voices deserve greater attention in public discourses as their capabilities, their actions, and their visions is what brings Botswana forward. This publication aims to give an insight into the youth�s perception of Botswana illuminating issues of social justice and inclusivity. Four young people from Botswana and Germany conducted research on a topic of their choice they feel is relevant to Botswana�s society. Thanks to the diversity in the authors� backgrounds, this publication applies an international and multidimensional lens without disregarding local contexts and roots. During the research process the authors interacted with local communities as well as academic experts to develop innovative ideas and tangible recommendations of how to unlock Botswana�s potential for social transformation. As a social democratic foundation, we are hopeful that the findings presented will shed light on the needs of groups who are not always at the forefront of public discourses and will contribute to shaping an even more inclusive and just Botswana.
