UCT student’s team takes top spot at UNESCO conference
University of Cape Town (UCT) student Cwenga Koyana and together with four other young African women took the top spot at the UNESCO and Women@Dior Global E-conference. The event took place in Paris, France, on Wednesday, 23 March and welcomed 75 teams from across the globe.
Having established its first talent incubator in 1947, Christian Dior has long had a tradition of uplifting those who work for the brand and in the fashion industry through education and knowledge sharing. Since the founding of its Women@Dior programme in 2017, the fashion house has extended that tradition to provide mentorship and education to young women with diverse backgrounds and spheres of interest.
The initiative aims to highlight the importance of education in imagining a more sustainable and united world, while simultaneously enabling young women to build a better future by developing their autonomy.
