Namibian Filmmaker Joins African Youth on Educational Tour of Russia’s Nuclear Industry


Kenzia Henckert

Earlier this month, Namibia’s Kenzia Henckert was among a select group of young African filmmakers invited to explore Russia’s cutting-edge nuclear facilities. The initiative, organized by Rosatom, aimed to combine scientific education with cultural exchange, offering participants an in-depth look at the country’s nuclear technologies and history.

The winners of the 8th edition of Rosatom’s “Atoms Empowering Africa” competition spent five days visiting key Russian nuclear sites. Delegates hailed from six African countries Namibia, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi—and gained hands-on insight into modern nuclear science and its applications for peaceful purposes.

Reflecting on her experience, Henckert expressed her gratitude: “This trip was an extraordinary opportunity to learn about nuclear science, its history, and peaceful uses. I would like to congratulate Russia’s nuclear industry on its 80th anniversary and wish them continued global leadership. The hospitality and support from the Rosatom team made this journey both educational and truly inspiring.”

Ryan Collyer, CEO of Rosatom Central and Southern Africa, emphasized the role of youth engagement in Africa’s energy development. “Storytelling plays a key role in unlocking Africa’s energy potential. The Atoms Empowering Africa competition continues to inspire young minds to explore science and innovation. Celebrating Russia’s 80 years in nuclear technology alongside our winners strengthens our shared vision for sustainable progress and Africa’s energy future,” he stated.
