A youth creative renaissance is currently underway as young people are finding new platforms and tools for self-expression. No place is this happening as widely as it is in Africa, where Gen Zs represent the largest demographic and, by default, are the most influential drivers of youth culture on the continent.

Through the Campus Editor program, we’re looking to help young African storytellers amplify their creative skills while documenting youth culture from its source—university campuses.

To be considered for the Kenga Campus Editor fellowship, you must:

• Be enrolled in an accredited university with at least one (1) full year of studies left before graduation,

• Be a citizen of an African country, based anywhere in the world,

• Demonstrate strong storytelling skills as a writer, an artist, a graphic designer, a photographer, or a combination of these,

• Show aptitude for basic research methods and tools for storytelling, and

• Show leadership on campus as a student with the ability to rally peers behind a project or event

To complete the one-year program, Campus Editors will have to:

• Contribute at least one (1) story (an article, photos, art pieces, videos, short films, illustrations, etc.) monthly that speaks to cultural trends or insights on your campus to either Kenga Digital or Kenga Magazine,

• Organise at least three (3) creative events on their campus,

• Contribute to the bi-annual Kenga Campus Special Issue, that’s put together by all current Kenga Campus Editors around the world with creative support from the editorial team at Kenga, and

• Attend at least three (3) Campus Editor Creative Bootcamps virtually or in person.

After delivering on all the results required to complete the program, each Campus Editor will receive:

• A physical certificate of completion, signed Kenga’s publisher, and sent by post

• A personalised print copy of the latest issue of Kenga Magazine

• Kenga Campus Editor tote bag
