From before 1957, discourse has been a very huge part of the growth and development of our country.

Today UGDS celebrates Independence Day not only because we are proud Ghanaians, but because we acknowledge the role proper discourse and conversations played in our birth and our continued freedom.

UGDS WISHES YOU A HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 🥳🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Let’s go🔥🔥🔥🔥
Day one kicks off in a few hours
Let the games begin!

🔥 Young Minds. Bold Ideas. Shifting the Power. 🔥

Africa’s young people are stepping into the spotlight for the Shifting the Power Pan-African Debates, taking on some of the continent’s most urgent conversations around decolonising aid, power, and locally-led development.

🇬🇭 Ghana Championship - February

Universities across Ghana will face off in a national round of debates, testing ideas, values, and visions for Africa’s future.

🏛️ Participating Universities (Ghana):
🎓 University of Ghana
🎓 Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
🎓 University for Development Studies
🎓 Ashesi University

Teams from Ghana, Zambia, and Malawi will convene in Accra for the Pan-African Finale, bringing together diverse perspectives and bold vision from across the continent.

This is more than a debate.
It’s young Africans challenging old systems, defending new ideas, and insisting on a future shaped by them.
