Setting up specialized platforms of communication
Create and set up global conferences both offline and online to maintain that culture
Total to date
This is the total amount allocated to Afro-Asian youth connection.
About this idea
[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
Despite the plethora of platforms available for communication and connection, and the abundance of learning resources
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
As the world is shifting to a more unified community, specialized platforms and programs would aid people to communicate and interact more.
What makes our solution more viable is it would allow people to not only be together online, but also it would give people the opportunity to travel and move around as well to have a real life experience.
It would also allow people to interact with professionals and experts in the fields proposed.
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Risk: Government officials wanting to ride the wave
Solution: In case of government wanting a part, invite them to the conference if needed
Risk: Complaints of unfairness in selection process
Solution: The selection would take place through a detailed process that will be fair for everyone
Risk: Some countries would have connectivity issues
Solution: By commitment, the participants would get facilitations in telecom
