Why the world needs more carriers of culture | Caelan Mwiti | TEDxYouth@AKAMombasa

Caelan Mwiti is an outspoken, passionate, and social student at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa. After having noticed the wonderful works of art on the streets in Nairobi at a very young age, he has been very passionate about his culture. He disagrees with the notion that Westernization and the abandoning of cultural values is key to the development of society. Caelan has embraced his culture, creating the Cheza dance group with 24 other students at his school. He believes that just like him, Africans should embrace their identity by being carriers of culture to make sure that their cultures do not die.
