THIS IS FOR THE 2024 COHORT
The 2024 Form Four Leavers Mentorship Festival and Talent Extravaganza is a nationwide initiative aimed at empowering the 2024 cohort of graduates (and past classes) to confidently step into their careers. This transformative event provides mentorship, guidance, and opportunities for students to explore both traditional and creative career paths while celebrating their talents and skills.
The festival culminates in the February 25-27 Summit, which will be held both physically at the University of Nairobi and virtually, offering multiple ways for students to participate. Whether attending in person or virtually, this event is designed to inspire, inform, and equip students for the future.

SUMMIT WATCH PARTIES
To increase participation and ensure more students benefit from the Form Four Leavers Mentorship Festival & Talent Extravaganza, we’ve introduced an exciting opportunity for individuals, brands, and community leaders to host Watch Parties. This initiative allows students across Kenya to gather in person and virtually engage in the event, promoting interaction, networking, and a shared learning experience.
WATCH PARTY 101
WHAT IS A WATCH PARTY?
And why they matter.
A watch party is a physical gathering where students attend the virtual summit by watching it on large screens. This creates a community atmosphere that enhances engagement and participation.
Key benefits of watching the Summit as a watch party:
-
Increased Focus & Engagement: Students are more likely to stay focused in a group setting, reducing distractions that come with attending the event alone.
-
Affordable Participation: By joining a Watch Party, students save on data and travel costs, making it more accessible for all.
PRIVATE HOSTING: PARENTS
Parents and Guardians are encouraged to host parties for their kids and those in the village or neighbourhood.
Parents, we encourage you to host a Watch Party during the festival's 3-day event. By gathering students from your family and community, you ensure that everyone can participate, even those who may not have access to the event otherwise. It’s a convenient and cost-effective way for your child to stay engaged and connected, while reducing the need for individual travel or high data usage.
Students, talk to your parents about setting up a Watch Party! Together, you can create a vibrant space where learning, growth, and connection thrive.
PUBLIC HOSTING: INSTITUTIONS
Capable institutions and concerned brands can host a watch party for their residents and community.
Brands, institutions, and personalities can get involved by hosting public Watch Parties. These gatherings are perfect for students in your community or region to view the festival on a large screen, complete with the benefits of increased focus and engagement. Public hosts will, in turn, enjoy a great opportunity to engage with youth, offer mentorship, and demonstrate their commitment to supporting the next generation.
We’ve prepared a comprehensive public hosting brief with guidelines to ensure successful Watch Parties, including broadcasting instructions and branding benefits.
