Global Changemakers Conference 2026: Build Beyond Africa set to inspire young people to drive change
Build Beyond Africa set to inspire young people to drive change. Organised by Build Beyond Africa, the conference is scheduled for November 21, 2026, at 9 a.m. at the GNAT Hall in Accra.
With just a week to go, preparations are underway for the 2026 Global Changemakers Conference, which seeks to inspire young people to recognise their potential, embrace purposeful leadership and take an active role in driving positive change in their communities and beyond.
Organised by Build Beyond Africa, the conference is scheduled for November 21, 2026, at 9 a.m. at the GNAT Hall in Accra. It will bring together young people, speakers, development advocates and other stakeholders to explore the importance of youth leadership and the role of young people in shaping a better future.
This year's theme, “The Audacity to Change the World,” challenges young people to move beyond ideas and take practical steps towards creating meaningful impact.
A major highlight of the event will be the official launch of Build Beyond Africa, a youth-focused organisation founded and led by Andy Oppong Dankyi.
The organisation has operated for more than seven years under the name Empowerment Through Education, during which it has implemented initiatives centred on education, youth empowerment, leadership development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Its formal registration under the new name marks a new chapter in its efforts to nurture and develop young changemakers across Africa.
The conference will also feature the launch of Mr Dankyi's forthcoming book, You Have Not, Because You Ask Not, a practical and inspirational resource that examines the importance of asking, pursuing opportunities and taking deliberate steps towards personal growth and success.
The 2026 Global Changemakers Conference is expected to offer participants an engaging platform for learning, inspiration, networking and action.
It will also reinforce the belief that young people are not merely leaders of tomorrow but have an important role to play in addressing present-day challenges and driving the change their communities and societies need.
