An EASYNEC Global Impact programme Africa Leadership & Development Summit
A leadership and capacity development movement preparing Africa's next generation to move from watching success to building it.
01 — The premise
02 — The programme
Beyond the Screen (BTS) is the flagship annual Africa Leadership & Development Summit convened by EASYNEC Global Impact, established to nurture Africa's next generation of visionary leaders by helping young people move beyond passive consumption to purposeful leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and societal impact.
This is not a motivational conference. We challenge, mentor and connect people, then create opportunities for them to lead.
Masterclasses, leadership projects, an innovation lab and career preparation — skills people use the week after.
Participants join an alumni network built for continuous learning, collaboration, mentoring and leadership.
To prepare Africa's next generation of leaders by helping young people discover purpose, develop practical leadership competencies, build meaningful careers and enterprises, and contribute to sustainable development across the continent.
Beyond the Screen aspires to become Africa's premier emerging leadership and capacity development movement, targeted at developing young people who possess the knowledge, character, skills, and courage to build stronger businesses, stronger institutions, stronger industries, and stronger communities.

07 — Past editions
Beyond the Screen 2026
The 2026 edition of Beyond The Screen tackles the gap between what young Africans watch and what they are equipped to build, breaking barriers from vision to execution.
Our promise
Africa's future will not be determined by what young people watch on their screens, but by what they choose to build beyond them.
