WEF Africa Conversation 2008
Thursday, 29 May 2008 | posted by Matt_BC
The following, found on the WEF Africa pages, may be of interest:
"The World Economic Forum on Africa to be held in Cape Town, South Africa, June 4-6 2008 will open with a highly interactive session designed to engage over 350 leaders in a brainstorming exercise to examine the current changing global landscape and determine what are the major “drivers of change” that the region needs to be most prepared for in the coming year.
Following on from the 2007 Africa Conversation initiative the World Economic Forum is once again giving you the general public the opportunity to shape the debate this year.
We are seeking your input to help participants define these drivers of change. Using our innovative tag cloud application we invite you to vote for an existing driver or enter your own. This tag cloud will be presented to participants at the opening session of the Africa summit in Cape Town on June 4th.
Participants will be invited to respond directly to your opinions and will produce their own tag cloud view to compare to yours."

Hey guys.
I think the best part of the WEF Africa is the programme that Asanda and I have been putting together. We are working with a Cape Town based team that has arranged a two day conference arounf the WEF and the issues.
We are meeting on the Monday and we will be talking to some young people about activism, the ecconomy and youth and the general voice of young poeple. This will happed at the Community House that houses over ten different organisations from Earth life Africa to the biggest trade union in SA.
The next day is even better but I am going to leave it up to the Cape Town visitors to blog all about it.
