MORE INSIGHTS
This Youth Month, we’re flipping the script on what “support” for young creatives actually looks like. No more vague encouragement. No more empty hashtags. Just clear, accessible 1-pagers built to help guide South Africa’s creative youth own their work and their future.
Introducing the Creative Youth Toolkit, a bold zine with introductory resources for young creators across 11 cultural and creative industries. Whether you're a beatmaker, brand builder, storyteller, stylist, or anything in between, this was made for you.
What’s Inside the Toolkit?
The Creative Youth Toolkit breaks down each industry into some professional essentials from what you need to know, where to register and who protects your rights
You’ll find tailored content for:
There’s also a quick glossary to break down industry terms like “mechanical rights,” “ISBN,” “design registration,” and more. Because information should be accessible, not intimidating.
Why We Made This
Young creatives in South Africa are making magic on timelines, stages, screens, and sketchbooks. But too many are building without structure. Registering their work too late. Missing out on royalties. Losing ownership. Getting left out of industry opportunities because no one told them how the system works.
The Creative Youth Toolkit is Andani.Africa’s answer to that. A digital plug. A career starter kit. An introductory guide to help creative youth turn their passion into something sustainable. This isn’t a guide full of theory. It’s filled with actionable info: links, names, and support platforms you can use right now.
