BarCamp Accra
Monday, December 23, 2013 at the new World Bank Office in Accra. The theme
is “Exercising ethics to engineer excellence”. This Barcamp will be the
28th organized by the GhanaThink Foundation
it builds a network of young change makers, doers and entrepreneurs in
Ghana.
Corruption has been a big theme in Ghana this year, and a lot of us have
read and listened to media reports in anger and disappointment. After the
initial reactions fade away, we realize that attitudes of corruption and
dishonesty are deeply entrenched in our society and we wonder what we can
do about it as ordinary Ghanaians.
At Barcamp Accra, we intend to discuss, in interactive sessions, issues of
ethics, corruption and most importantly, how we can achieve excellence
without being unethical. There will also be the popular speed mentoring
sessions with many inspirational people. Some of our confirmed resource
personnel include *Shamima Muslim, Nhyira Addo, Bernard Avle (CITI FM),
Kwame Gyan (Airtel), Kinna Likimani (Ghana Decides), Gloria Buckman (Plan
It Ghana), Joseph Hudson (Tigo), Kimathi Kuenyehia (Top Lawyer), Nana Amoah
(Google), Hannah Acquah (Acumen Fund), Valerie Labi (Clean Team Ghana),
Eugene Akoto-Bamfo (Osramba), Eric Osiakwan (AngelAfrica), *etc. We'll cap
off the day with breakout sessions.
Come network, learn and share with some of the brightest and best youth in
Ghana. It's a free event with free breakfast and lunch from 8am to
5pm. Register
