South Africa to launch the third BRICS+ Summer School

South African BRICS Youth Association (SABYA) in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg's (UJ) Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPATC) will host the third BRICS+ Summer School, bringing together students and scientists from the Global South and BRICS+ countries. The aim of the school is to take a deep dive into the BRICS world: history, principles, current initiatives, and future prospects.

The school not only expands participants' knowledge of BRICS countries but also strengthens connections between member countries and encourages interaction in areas ranging from economics to culture. TV BRICS is the media partner for the event.

The event will bring together young people aged 18 to 35, students of grades 9–12, young leaders from BRICS+ and Global South countries, as well as researchers, unemployed youth, young professionals interested in international relations, and entrepreneurs.

During the school, the South African BRICS Youth Association (SABYA) will provide all participants with meals and shared accommodation, and assist with obtaining entry permits to South Africa for international participants.

Applications for the Summer School are being submitted until July 31, 2024.

The BRICS+ Summer School is not just an educational programme but a tool for creating a new era of mutual understanding and cooperation between the countries involved.
