Zero Dropout Campaign
About
South Africa’s teens are facing growing psychosocial challenges, yet the systems meant to support them often struggle to respond effectively.
Pivotal, a new teen-centred initiative by the DG Murray Trust, invites you to a Learning Exchange on Teen Wellbeing and Psychosocial Support. This exchange will be a space to connect, reflect, and collaborate with peers across sectors.
The exchange will bring together practitioners, educators, researchers, and youth organisations to:
- Share insights and experiences from the field.
- Explore links between wellbeing, school engagement, and dropout.
- Identify key gaps and opportunities for alignment.
The event will also feature Hanging by a Thread, an immersive exhibition by the Zero Dropout Campaign, bringing teen experiences to life through powerful storytelling and imagery.
