Konekte.Zenn (Youth Connect)

Konekte.Zenn (loosely translated as "youth connect") is the first television show in Seychelles aired on the national broadcaster SBC dedicated exclusively to the views of young people. A collaboration between the Global Shapers Victoria Hub and National Children's Council, the talk show is a no holds barred conversation with young people on relevant, sometimes controversial, topics. The project is an attempt to connect the youth voice with decision-makers and prominent members of society and demonstrate the power of their views.


Since it launched in 2019, over 20 episodes have been filmed, engaging over 50 young people from diverse backgrounds and schools with the participation of more than 15 different Shapers on the panels.


The project inspired the creation of a Global Shapers Ambassadors Group which gives participants the opportunity to continuously engage with the hub who also facilitates connection of the young people to voluntary opportunities.
