This year’s impact conference to empower students to create opportunity for them as change makers, attracted experts from various fields of academic discipline to share knowledge and experiences to inspire them to greater heights.
Addressing the students at University of Education Winneba , Dr Kingsley Agyemang,Registrar of Scholarship Secretariat shared his experience on how we can, together in our small ways, create a better world as change makers.
Speaking on the theme “Empowering Change-makers to Create a Better World,” he reiterates his conviction about his phrase, “Power to Empower,” and how it inspires him to use his office as the Registrar of Scholarships to empower others.
He reminded them how, as change-makers, can provide hope and inspiration to others and act as catalysts for progress and innovation.
He urged them to bring a host of skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to the table because as change-makers, that is the only way they can work with others to develop creative solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges.
