    Réflexions sur la génération Z : La génération immergée dans le monde numérique

    Les membres de la génération Z sont les premiers à grandir avec un accès facile et rapide à internet, et ce, dans un grand nombre de pays.

Pour ce faire, il s’appuie sur les conclusions du rapport de l’IFES intitulé « Réflexions sur la Gen Z pour le ministère étudiant mondial ».  Ensuite, Emmanuel, secrétaire régional désigné pour l’Afrique francophone, accueille un panel d’invités issus du réseau de mouvements étudiants chrétiens de l’IFES et d’ailleurs.
