Gauteng’s premier youth radio station Y has launched a gathering for play, creation, and empowerment this Youth Month with GRYND. A conference created to help young people face the current economic challenges head on, it enables the conversation of multiple income streams and advising how to creatively upscale ‘side hustles’ through various digital platforms.
The lineup is a promising one, with a series of high-impact masterclasses and panel discussions, the June 24 gathering at Atlas Studios promises to be an experience for young people to both share and acquire knowledge from each other and to spark meaningful conversations around entrepreneurship in a digital age through the lens of successful and creative young professionals, culture narrators and social media leaders.
