ABOUT TEDx
In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDzorwulu where x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxDzorwulu, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Seminars like these are what the youths need in Africa. We really need to be motivated to start something, most Afircan youths are lay back and allowing the westerners to cart away everything.
Too bad am not in Ghana, I would have attend this seminar!
I like what you are doing here Mr David. Well-done!

I was in Ghana from Nov 23rd – Dec 7th 2011. I wish I could have stayed longer to attend this seminar.
