BarCamp Tema 2012 is a free networking forum
bringing people together for a day of discussion, demos and dialogue on
Tema, Ghana and beyond. It will take place on October 27, 2012 at the
Central University Campus in Miotso near Tema. The theme for this year
is “Vertical mentoring and horizontal inspiration, driving excellence”.
This Barcamp hopes to assemble stakeholders to network, build a
supportive enterprising community and partner to build together.
The GhanaThink Foundation has successfully organized 17 BarCamps in Ghana. BarCamp Tema 2012 is being organized in conjunction with the Google Group at Central University College. The event will be a showcase of how Ghana’s youth are taking charge of its development and how they can be spurred on to do more. The spotlight will be on demonstrating the power of mentoring and role models and how youth can inspire other youth to drive excellence. There will be a focus on channeling the present energies around entertainment into positive developments and progress for Tema and surrounding areas as well.
The Barcamp will feature multiple user-generated breakout sessions about business, social entrepreneurship, technology and development, alongside topics relevant to the Volta Region and beyond. There will be a speed mentoring session where mentors will give insights and answers to questions from attendees. We are also organizing a start-up bazaar where young entrepreneurs and innovators can showcase their products and services.
