About the Course

Supporting youth-led change across Africa.

This course is for young change-makers who see problems in their communities and dare to say, “We can fix this.” It’s not just about managing projects, it’s about designing real, lasting change.

Through stories, practical tools, and African case studies, you’ll learn how to turn your ideas into action, from identifying root causes and co-creating solutions to planning, executing, and sustaining your initiatives.

Grounded in design thinking, systems thinking, and agile methods, this self-paced course walks you step-by-step from idea to impact. You’ll leave with the skills and confidence to design people-centred projects, manage teams with purpose, and measure what truly matters.

If you’re ready to move from inspiration to implementation, this course gives you everything you need to build change that lasts.
