Generational Thinkers (FOGET), has been selected by the United Nations (UN) to
host the 2018 edition of the Accra Global People’s Hub scheduled for September

The Accra People’s Hub, is being organised as

Ghana News Agency in an interview that the event would be streamed live from
the UN Headquarters in New York, USA.

It is aimed at lifting global voices, inspire
collaboration, and foster innovation to solve development challenges in our
various communities and around the world.

The Accra Global People’s Hub will, serves as
a live-stream location for the Global People’s Summit in Ghana, and a space for
impact-driven people to connect, inspire and create community around complex
local and global challenges.

It is also to localize conversations and
inspire community engagement around the SDGs.

The event would be on the theme:
“Reimagine humanity: Inspire the future”.

Mr Afetsi said the Accra chapter would also
have other activities such as panel discussions by tertiary students and
experts on the SDGs as well as presentations on the Goals by distinguished
individuals from the academia.

He said: “This year’s theme reimagine
humanity, challenges the world to think differently, act boldly and inspire
solutions to the world’s biggest problems”.

Mr Afetsi said the programme, would be an
avenue for partnership and support to disrupt the status quo and build a better
tomorrow and urged individuals at their various locations to participate live

“Featuring innovators, world leaders and
change makers from around the world, will light global voices, amplify stories,
inspire collaboration and celebrate innovation for humanity,” he said.

to persist due to more people around the globe not having their say on how to
tackle issues concerning their communities, countries and the world at large.
