The youth make up 57% of Ghana’s population, but aren’t able to access their power and potential due to education inequality. Many students have told us they see themselves as “nobodies;'' that they aren’t able to respond to challenges in their communities. Get Local engages with students with practical skills & support to provide the opportunity to see themselves as “somebodies” who can & are able to create change for themselves, their families & their communities.
Get Local is designed to continue on learnings from Get Global & creatively explore the themes of the SDG’s 7-12 through activities & discussions; activating students to take charge of local issues & their own futures. It is a hands-on learning experience with a focus on engaging students to gain practical skills to address local community challenges, build key life skills and increase their capabilities within themselves to reach their full potential and goals.
