The African Changemakers Tour is an initiative that brings various change makers across the continent to share their ideas and thoughts, through a series of talks and live music sessions.

The African changemakers tour kicked off with 2500 Ghanaian students gathered on Saturday, April 13th at KNUST Campus in Kumasi, Ghana eager to listen to the most innovative and creative minds from across the continent.

Ghana's media maven, Peace Hyde delivered a powerful message encouraging the KNUST students to pursue careers they are interested in without letting setbacks stumble them while daring to dream to become the next Dangote’s  of Africa. Inspiring the students to continue being themselves, believe in excellence, and not allow ill-disposed comments to break them down.

Ghallywood royalty and business man John Dumelo delivered a message emphasizing the importance of creating your own opportunities and his experiences as a successful agricultural entrepreneur. With a mix of Art and exhibitions, talks from high profile speakers and live music performances from your favourite African artists, the day was jam packed with interactive spaces to network and explore ideas further.



The tour is all about bringing people together from all walks of life in Ghana and Africa to discuss ideas that have the potential to change the world we live in and transform the way we as a people think.
