The Global Peace Inter Generational Dialogue was duly launched on Monday 6th May 2018. The event which took place at the Kempinski Hotel saw various dignitaries across Africa and beyond grace the occasion to ensure that the preaching of peace is not just a rhetoric but an action aid agenda.
Addressing the gathering, the President of the Republic of Ghana His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo stated that he and his cabinet are working tirelessly to ensure that the Ghanaian youth is globally competitive in all dimensions. He stated that “All is set for the construction of 21 state-of-the-art Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) Centres this year in the various regions of the country. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) centers are also being built around the country to provide support for the introduction of STEM into basic education, after the completion of a successful pilot phase.”
This comes as an encouragement for the youth who are plying their way through to the top to acquire practicable knowledge and apply in their daily activities. He also emphasized that digital technology by the youth must be a compelling challenge if, indeed, they are to survive in this competitive, technological environment.
“They have to survive. Technology is what helps us to make the world truly a global village, and enables once poor people to become prosperous, and scale up the value of their economic activities.”
Present at the event were: H.E. Justice Aboagye-Sarpong, President of the Union, Amanda Koranteng, Press and information Secretary, Samir Ousman Programs and Projects Cordinator and Kingsley Prekese, Treasurer.
