Emmanuel Nyame

How do we move from today to tomorrow with the future in focus? Emmanuel grapples with this question regularly as he works towards his life goal of being a positive inspiration to young people around the world. In a time of social turmoil, young people are faced with obstacles everyday in the form of mental health, poverty, unemployment, systemic hate, injustice, and prejudice. To address these obstacles, he founded Educational Communities Worldwide, an organization that helps create an enabling environment for young people particularly young girls to thrive through education, cultural awareness, and community outreach! To reach everyone, everywhere, Educom World currently operates in three continents where it has offices with programmes running for youth empowerment and leadership skills. In 2018, He launched his maiden book, Rise Above, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, during High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. Rise Above, #1 best-selling book, sparked conversations around the world on the need to support young people in business. Rise Above was praised by billionaire, Jeff Hoffman (Priceline), Jayathma Wickramanayake (UN Envoy on Youth) and many other renowned changemakers. Innovation, Integrity, selflessness and Value Creation are pillars to his approach and it’s evident through his impact. He is a Social Good Advisor at United Nations Foundation, Advisor at SXSW, and as a highly respected social activist, consistently engaged for speaking roles and community development around the world.
