Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. The 15th edition of the Shoko Festival closed with a bold new resolution to create more spaces for young people to innovate, collaborate, and thrive.
Festival founder Samm Monro, widely known as Comrade Fatso, reaffirmed his commitment to supporting youth-led innovation and social entrepreneurship – positioning the arts and digital spaces as essential vehicles for socio-economic transformation in Zimbabwe
“Shoko Comedy Night was amazing! Such a great crowd and epic performances by the comedians. King Kandoro’s set was world class,” he said.
“The vibes at the Hub Unconference & Green Cities Expo have been fantastic. Inspiring discussions and performances on everything from decolonising the internet to building green, low carbon economies.”
One of the strongest outcomes from the Hub Unconference at Shoko Festival was the call to establish inclusive innovation hubs across communities and spaces where young people, regardless of their educational background, can access tools, mentorship, and reliable internet to turn their ideas into impactful solutions.
These hubs should be open, well-resourced, and rooted in local needs, offering pathways into tech, green entrepreneurship, digital arts, and other emerging sectors, the organisers have noted.
