Africa is the future and its young people have big plans for making it the greatest continent on earth. As well as having lots of ideas, these young people, aged 14 and 15, aren't holding back when it comes to their own ambitions. Others went further, citing corruption and weak governments for holding Africa back, yet they seem confident that they can make a difference, and soon. A year-old from Monrovia in Liberia said: "In five or 10 years' time we will be more important than our parents… and young people are really against corruption.
We will use our energy wisely to make Africa the greatest continent on earth. The teenagers were almost unanimous in feeling proud to be African. But some said they felt the effects of racism.
The data from Senegal, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, Uganda and South Africa was collected in partnership with the British Council's connecting classrooms network, and the importance of education featured strongly in responses. Many of the children the BBC spoke to were very aware they have opportunities their parents did not.
Being South African necessarily means that we are also African. Our country is, after all, part of this continent. But what does it mean to be African? It is not just about geography. The African identity is also about certain values.
And at the heart of it is the idea that I am person through and with other people. This view of life is known as ubuntu.
Linking your own humanity to that of other people implies two things: you empathise with all people; and you treat all people with respect. This is what makes you human; this is what it means to be part of humankind. The advantage of this is that it creates unity where there is division. The emphasis falls on what we have in common rather on what sets us apart.
So, even if you and I do not look the same, even if we do not speak the same language, even if we vote for different parties, we still have something in common with one another — our humanity.
