awareness-raising sessions at various universities: we'll be explaining what the Cardano ecosystem is to students at the city's universities.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Our project solves the problem by informing the majority of Goma's university students about the cardano and project catalyst ecosystem, so that they can benefit from funding for their projects.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

The success of this project will be measured by the number of participants in the conferences held, the videos recorded, the number of universities enrolled in the program and by the number of registrations on project catalyst.

on the project website: leaflets will be available electronically on the site, and images of completed activities will be added progressively as the project evolves. Monthly activity reports will be sent .

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Having taught for more than 15 years in the universities of Goma and knowing the students well, we believe we can carry this project through to its implementation.

  We have worked on a number of similar projects with local university management committees, so we will be able to convince other management committee members and students from Goma universities to take ownership of the cardano ecosystem and project catalyst by individual, in order to receive funding.

Finally, we will work with developers experienced in designing websites, web and mobile applications, as well as professional photographers and speakers with an understanding of the Cardano blockchain.
