Speaker of the National Assembly Professor Peter Katjavivi hosted a dinner in honour of the young MPs partaking in this week's Children's Parliament sessions. 

The occasion was filled with a vibrant atmosphere, with most young parliamentarians draped in Namibia's diverse traditional attire.

The idea of traditional wear underscored the importance of cultural identity and unity among the nation's youth.

It provided a platform for the young parliamentarians to network, share ideas, and discuss initiatives aimed at addressing youth issues and promoting education.

Professor Peter Katjavivi described the Children's Parliament as a symbol of the country's unwavering dedication to nurturing its youth and preparing them for leadership roles.

"This event not only marks the momentum of another session of the Children's Parliament but also symbolises our nation's steadfastness and commitment to improving our youth and nurturing their potential as future leaders. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your selection to present your peers."

The founder and director of VK Life Coaching, Valencia Katjipuka, emphasised the transformative power young leaders possess in shaping Namibia's future.

"Each of you has the power; to not only transform your own life but also the future of this country at large. We all need to have a vision for this event to take place because there's a vision. When we want to be changed agents and transform education, we have to have a vision. So you have to ask yourself: What kind of future do you want to create? What do you want Namibia to look like?"
