This year's event is on cards. Zimbabwe Youth Festival 2012 is themed, Sowing A Seed- building a vibrant grassroots based movement of young people actively taking part in forming, informing and contributing to national discourse through non-conventional mobilisation, participation and advocacy approaches. The project motivates young people to take a centre stage now and bear responsibility for c
reating a thriving country and a better tomorrow. It challenges the culture of apathy which currently typifies the state of young people in Zimbabwe. Inspired by the lessons from the previous festival, the success of the Zimbabwe Youth Festival lies in its ability to transcend physical boundaries in terms of reach and location within which the festival takes place. It combines performing arts with mass-mobilisation, seminars, film screenings and community voluntary work. Last year's event which was inaugural featured performances from Alexio Kawara, Edith weUtonga, Mokoomba, Mathias Julias and XVYBS, Chikwata 263, Umoja CFC, Roki, Stunner feat.
