The 3rd Barcamp Kasoa discusses "Education That Counts" #bckasoa
The third +Barcamp Kasoa happens on Saturday. Before we get into the press release and other info you need to know, I'll like to highlight the team making this possible. Kasoa is a very interesting town, some might call it city. It's one of the fastest growing cities in West Africa, and that also means its growth is pretty disorganized. It's densely populated with many private schools (even tertiary level). We run a Twitter discussion on #famouspeopleinkasoa recently and thankfully, before people jumped on it to make fun of Kasoa, we discovered many great sons and daughters of Kasland. It's clear that the many people in Kasoa are in the informal sector and many who succeed and live there have not had the best education. That's why the +Barcamp Kasoa theme is - Education that counts. Intrigued? Go here.
The main Barcamp Kasoa team is made up of +Elorm Billy-Awittor +Emelia Agblevor +jennepha omueti +Edmund Laryea +Danshiki Lapido and they are ably supported by +Barcamp Ghana team members +kofi yeboah +Leonard Hagan +Rachel Hormeku amongst other +GhanaThink Foundation members. Looking forward to a great Barcamp Kasoa on Saturday. You can join us in person or via the hashtag #bckasoa on Twitter. Press release below.
