“CHANGEMAKERS” INITIATIVE 2021-2024

In June 2021, through an agreement with the Kofi Annan Foundation, Greycells became a partner in the “Changemakers” initiative that annually connects 12 young people from around the world who have initiated activities linked to the knowledge, support, and implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals with experienced practitioners and leaders.

This initiative of the Kofi Annan Foundation coincided perfectly with the initiative launched by Greycells in 2018 to foster intergenerational dialogues linked to rights based development, allowing its members to share their vast experience in favour of young people committed to change for a better world. Following a renewal in March 2023, the Kofi Annan Foundation and Greycells took stock in 2024 and individualized the approach to the mentoring action, allowing the Foundation to cast the net of mentors larger than Greycells team. Thus the exclusive partnership agreement ended in Spring 2025.

The initiative remains supported by Ambassador Jenö Staehelin’s Foundation and other private donors and, in addition to Greycells and other individual mentors, by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, the International Telecommunications Union and the Geneva Welcome Centre (CAGI).

Greycells current and former mentors play a significant role in the initiative, including supporting a thematic, geographical and gender balance among selected ‘changemakers’ and continue to highly value the originality and expected real impact of the work of this new generation of leaders for a better world.

Watch and listen to Junbert T Pabon, a Scout from the Philippines and 2021 Kofi Annan Changemaker, speak to the United Nations General Assembly. Junbert’s experience comes from his own community service, helping bring better conditions, joy and hope to children and young people in juvenile detention. For that project, he was awarded as a Messengers of Peace Hero last year!
