Afrobarometer’s Digital Portfolio Manager, Shannon van Wyk-Khosa, will join the Global Democracy Coalition team at RightsCon 2025 for their side event on “Hope as a Driver for Social Change in the Digital Era.” This session will explore how storytelling, digital engagement, and emerging tools—gaming, AI, and social media—can shape hope-driven narratives that build trust, inspire civic action, and strengthen democratic values. #rightscon #digitaldemocracy #hopeforchange
