Join us on Friday, 6 November 2026, at the Graduate Institute in Geneva for an evening of inspiring ideas, youth-led innovation and conversation with the Kofi Annan Changemakers.
The Kofi Annan Changemakers will be in Geneva for their week-long programme, with some joining us in Switzerland for the first time. As part of the programme, they will pitch the projects they are developing to address some of the most pressing challenges facing their communities.
Come and discover what young leaders around the world are building — and meet the Changemakers behind these ideas.
From 5–7pm, the Changemakers will present their projects, with Sarah Noble, Head of Global Engagement, Caux Initiatives of Change, as Mistress of Ceremonies.
What you will discover:
- How mentorship programmes are strengthening ethical, trauma-informed mental healthcare in Mongolia
- How displaced Ukrainian youth in Czechia are building local civil society through community service
- How grassroots initiatives are using art and sport to help heal religious and intercommunal divides in Ethiopia
- How STEM education and youth mentorship are empowering underserved communities in Colombia
- And many more youth-led ideas from Changemakers working across the globe
Space is limited to 90 guests. Register by 30 October to secure your place.
