Last year, we were blown away by the incredible entries for our ASP Climate Change Photo Essay Prize. We received over 200 photographs from the continent and the diaspora focused on the theme, “Climate change and your community”. This year, we’re raising the stakes with the theme, “At a Crossroad: Climate and Change” which invites you to “consider how the ecological crisis is currently changing lives”. We can’t wait to see how you interpret this! More info 👉🏿 https://lnkd.in/gMBcaJ6Q #ClimateAction #ASPPhotoEssayPrize2024 #AfricaSoftPower African Women on Board

Today on #ASPArtview About: Theophilus Tetteh, a Ghanaian artist based in Accra, honed his skills in Graphic Design and Painting at Marimus Art School while simultaneously exploring various artistic mediums. Drawn to the expressive potential of Expressionism, he found figurative painting to be the most compelling avenue for exploring emotions. His seemingly static, solitary figures are vibrant representations of Ghanaian culture, embodying a dynamic spirit. Notable: Tetteh has participated in solo shows and group projects across Ghana, notably the Kente Design Project for Kejetia Market (Kumasi, 2017) and National Theatre of Ghana (Accra, 2018), and is also a member of the Ghana Association of Visual Artists (GAVA).

With the spotlight still shining on the Paris Olympics and the Paralympics, it’s important that while we celebrate the world’s greatest athletes, we also acknowledge their continued struggles and trials that can oftentimes be beyond their control. I’m so thrilled that Africa Soft Power is taking this conversation Beyond the Podium so we can support and invest in the bright futures of all athletes!

While there are (rightfully) several conversations around ethics and more in relation to AI, there are several areas where this evolving tech can power incredible growth. One of those areas is in academia and education. #AI #aspsummit24 #quoteoftheday

The future is now! We need a continent where innovation thrives. It is important for governments to create enabling environments that support, not stifle, African entrepreneurs. #aspsummit24 #innovation #thefutureisnow

The thoughts expressed in May at Africa Soft Power Summit led us at Sport Nigeria LTD/GTE to the #SAIS. It's about a viable, scalable and sustainable ecosystem underpinned by a solid infrastructure development strategy so that Africa's huge talent base can optimize their talent on the local and international stages. Let's meet in Lagos 19-20 November and fashion out how to fund the infrastructure base for the development of the African Sports Ecosystem. Visit www.sportnigeria.ng/SAIS for more details.
Africa boasts incredible athletic talent. But for them to excel at home and on the global stage, we need to build and invest in a comprehensive sports ecosystem that nurtures athletes across various stages. Nkechi Obi Sport Nigeria LTD/GTE #aspsummit24 #Athletics #africansports
