Overview

Rise Above was launched at the United Nations Head Quarters, New York, U.S.A. during the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, on June 16th and 17th, 2018. About Rise Above: No force of nature can break your will to self-motivate. There's one direction and the reverse. The series of resilient moments that follow take this same line: constantly restoring self-belief as though there is no dearth. Every attempted buildup will slip and fail between his impulses. Every process reclaimed except the attainment of his goals - to be his truest self. Young people have the potential to transform our communities, with their capabilities becoming more vibrant and impactful each year. Organizations worldwide are exploring how the youth can be a pillar to reduce setbacks in education access, create jobs, and quickly improve the societies where they belong. How can this transformative approach get into the hands of local stakeholders and changemakers worldwide? Emmanuel narrates his journey to self-awreness and provides guidelines for anyone who wants to be successful with their talents, passions and entrepreneurial skills.
