TED conferences have long been one of the best places to share ideas, success stories, or even failures, talk about how to achieve your goal and more. TEDxAccra, which was made in partnership with CEEK, allows each of you to hear many stories that will teach you something new, inspire, and make you understand why Africa is so beautiful. The theme of this conference is Forces That Unite. Those of you who are familiar with the history of Ghana will understand that it was inspired by the speech of the first president of Ghana, political theorist, and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah. He understood that by grouping Africa's forces in various fields, finding a common language, and developing each country with the support of others, it was possible to build an extremely powerful continent where everyone could live in excellent conditions. TED has a similar idea, albeit in a different area. It doesn't matter what country you are from or what your profession is. Here you can hear stories from people who have been in different life situations and highlight some points that will help you. Many prominent Ghanaian figures in business or other areas participate in TEDxAccra.
