A first-ever Brazilian Film Workshop in Namibia took place in Windhoek and saw the participation of more than 40 people. The two-day film workshop was conducted by Brazilian directors Tizuka Yamasaki and Emanoel Freitas.

Films have the power to shape a narrative, retell history, or simply bring to life an idea that existed only in the mind of a filmmaker.

The two-day workshop by Tizuka Yamasaki, a renowned film director, and Emanoel Freitas, a producer from Brazil, was an insightful exercise that was appreciated by aspiring students and film makers.

Young people will once again be presented with an opportunity to explore the latest information and communication technology trends and present their latest innovations and inventions within the ICT space at this year's 7th National ICT Summit.

Twenty young people participated in a one-day workshop at Keetmanshoop in the ||Kharas Region with a focus on mainstream politics and youth involvement in the democratic process.
