Quick end-of-week recap from the Buea Shapers.

Some of us came together for our hybrid hub meeting to catch up, share ideas, and talk about what we’re building next as a community.

After that, we switched gears and had a relaxed Paint & Sip session. It was a nice moment to slow down, be creative, and just enjoy each other’s company.

We wrapped up the evening with dinner and some really good conversations. These moments remind us that being a hub is not just about projects, it’s also about the friendships and the space to think, reflect, and grow together.

Grateful for the time together and excited for what’s ahead. More to come soon. 🌍✨

🌍 Meet the Leaders Series | Vanessa Nakate is joining us on March 19!

We are so excited to announce our first guest — Vanessa Nakate, one of Africa's most powerful voices for climate justice.

In 2019, Vanessa became Uganda's first Fridays for Future striker — showing up alone at parliament every Friday to demand action on climate change.

Since then, she has founded the Rise Up Movement and the Vash Green Schools Project, earned recognition as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, been named on the Washington Post's Top 50, and completed a Master of Public Policy at Oxford University.

Her motivation has always been rooted in community. Climate change in Uganda and across Africa isn't an abstract concept — it's failed harvests, unpredictable rains, and threatened livelihoods. Vanessa saw the problem, and she acted.

Now, she brings that same energy to our conversation on: "Climate Justice and Africa's Future: Confronting Disproportionate Risk in a Warming World"

Africa contributes the least to global emissions, yet suffers the most from their consequences. Join us as we have the conversation our world urgently needs.

We are thrilled to introduce our first guest on the Meet the Leaders Series — Vanessa Nakate. 🌍

Uganda’s first Fridays for Future striker. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Founder of the Rise Up Movement and Vash Green Schools Project. Washington Post Top 50. Oxford MPP graduate.

Vanessa didn’t wait for the world to notice Africa’s climate crisis — she showed up alone, and built a movement.

On March 19, 2026, she joins us for an honest, urgent conversation on: „Climate Justice and Africa’s Future: Confronting Disproportionate Risk in a Warming World“

Africa contributes the least to global emissions — yet carries the heaviest burden, an impediment to the continent’s development. This is the conversation we can no longer postpone.

Last Friday, the Global Shapers Buea Hub spent an unforgettable day with the bright Lower Sixth students of Bilingual Grammar School Molyko.
These young minds blew us away. 💛

We talked about volunteerism, building strong professional foundations, academic discipline, entrepreneurship, and choosing the right friends.
And the way they listened… the questions they asked… the curiosity in their eyes…
It reminded us why youth engagement matters.

Their energy showed us that Buea is full of future leaders -bold, thoughtful, ready to build, ready to shape.

We left inspired. They left empowered.
Exactly the impact we hoped for. ✨

Our first meeting of 2026 is officially in the books!🚀

Last Saturday the 31/01/2026, we came together as shapers to reconnect, align, and warmly welcome our new shapers into the community.

As the 2025/2026 mandate approaches its end, our focus is clear: executing two key projects that will deliver meaningful impact in our community.
The energy, commitment, and collaboration in the room remind us why this work matters.🤍💙

From Davos to Buea 🌍
As the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 unfolds under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” global leaders are shaping conversations that affect us all.

For young people in Cameroon, these discussions are not distant. They influence our opportunities, our futures, and the communities we are building today.

At the Global Shapers Buea Hub, we believe youth voices matter — and dialogue must lead to action at home.

Today, the Global Shapers Buea Hub proudly joins the international community in commemorating World Volunteerism Day. This day reminds us of the extraordinary impact individuals can make when they give their time, skills, and passion to serve others.

Volunteerism strengthens communities, fosters solidarity, and drives meaningful, lasting change. Around the world, volunteers continue to uplift societies—one act of service at a time.

At the Buea Hub, we celebrate the dedication of volunteers who improve lives and help shape a better future. We remain committed to initiatives that empower young people, strengthen communities, and inspire collaborative action for the common good.

To every volunteer: Thank you for your spirit of service and leadership. Your commitment continues to shape the world.

Happy World Volunteerism Day!
