What Ghana Taught Me About Social Change When I travelled to Accra, Ghana, for the Global Solvers Accelerator (GSA) Co-Lab, I thought I was travelling to another country to learn, meet people and exchange ideas about social change. I returned with something much harder to put into a presentation or a report. I returned with friendships, questions, laughter, difficult conversations and a feeling of connection with a continent that seemed strangely familiar, even though it was my first time experiencing it this way.There is something powerful about travelling to a place you have only known through stories, maps and other people's...

There is a bag sitting on a table somewhere in Accra right now. It was made by hand, stitch by careful stitch, by a woman in the West Bank of Palestine.

She may never know that it travelled across two continents to become part of a gathering of young global leaders. But she made it with full attention, full skill, and something that I can only describe as insistence: the insistence that what she produces...
