We Are One Generation Away From 2050
Today's youth will face a world of intensified climate risk, geopolitical fragmentation, and technological disruption. And yet, young people remain one of the world’s greatest untapped assets.
Many already possess the desire, drive, and creativity to spark change — but education systems aren’t moving at the speed or scale to harness the potential of youth to meet the challenges ahead.
GIFT.ed Academy fills that gap in partnership with a global network — offering structured, scalable, and inspiring education that moves beyond the walls of the classroom or the scroll of a screen, connecting youth to ideas, tools, and networks that elevate their potential into impact.
We empower learners — especially from the Global Majority — to Build the cognitive muscle for complexity, Connect global trends with local realities, and Act with insight and integrity.
A Transformative Learning Platform
Systems-First Curriculum
Learners explore global challenges — from power and inequality to climate and governance — through structured modules in systems thinking, strategic foresight, and ethical leadership.
Global Insight, Local Action
A “Global Challenges, Local Solutions” project teaches students how to turn insight into impact, connecting global trends to national interventions.
AI-Enabled, Personalised Learning
Customised pathways and responsive assessment tools help students engage at their level — and at scale.
Accessible by Design
Built to work across devices, regions, and bandwidth levels, the platform supports inclusion across the Global Majority — from flagship campuses to underserved institutions.

Measurable Progress
Built-in analytics to track engagement, progress, and outcomes — linking learning to tangible development goals.
The Global Awareness Programme — Our Flagship Model
Co-developed with the World Bank and Nigeria’s National Universities Commission, our Global Awareness Programme has reached over 10,000 students across 16 universities. It forms the foundation of our mission: to inspire system-literate, globally fluent changemakers who act with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
What Our Students Have to Say
“We must stay and build the prosperous nation that we desire. And youth must take the driver's seat in championing this course.”
Student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi
“It has been thought-provoking to realize that being globally aware isn’t just about knowing facts about other countries, but about developing empathy, adaptability, and the ability to view situations from diverse perspectives.”
Student at National Open University of Nigeria, Abuja
“The realisation that we can be taught to be global citizens, resourceful individuals, and active problem solvers is amazing. The exploration of the GAP program and INSPIRE project made me realise this.”
Student at University of Lagos
“What I find most insightful is the emphasis on cultural integrity and the networks we build. It challenges us to rethink development — not as imitation, but as innovation grounded in identity. That blend of authenticity and collaboration feels like the real foundation for sustainable progress in Africa.”
Student at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
