Along the over 550 km stretch of the coastline of Ghana are numerous communities, which are either urban or rural. Most of these communities are engaged in artisanal fisheries and other primary economic activities.

Coastal communities in Africa are confronted with myriads of challenges.

Last week, we kick-started the Design Boost Program with an opening session, having over 60 Designers joining from all over Ghana and some other parts of Africa. In the coming weeks, applications for the full training program will be reviewed and 25 designers will be shortlisted to go through the program and have an opportunity to participate in a professional attachment exchange with Dutch Design Studios in the Netherlands.

We are excited about this programme which aims to skill up our creatives to become better designers with great exposure, experience and limitless possibilities to produce the sustainable quality the world needs.

For those who asked for us to roll out the program in your country, we will come to you soon.
