The kick-off was given on the 13th of September with a “Design Thinking Bootcamp” in Switzerland, where Team Ghana had the chance to learn more about the innovative design thinking mindset, somewhere between cheese fondue and collective tooth brushing. Have you ever shared a bedroom with more than 20 people? We really got out of our comfort zone and to know each other very well.
The multicultural learning and exchange that is at the center of each Impact Week was evident already in the outstanding diversity of the coaching team.
Coming from different cultural and professional backgrounds and from different nationalities, the group learned how to direct these differences towards promoting change. This shared passion for innovation and the motivation to learn from other cultures brought these individuals together in a powerful way under the common purpose of making a real impact.
The group is now working busily as a unified front to make sure that all the materials, content and necessary logistics are ready to go! We are very much excited to continue this enriching exchange in Accra and meet the local coaches, partners, students and entrepreneurs!
