“I want people in the streets to know that math is important. Do they think we’re crazy people doing things that aren't relevant? What we do is important for the development of Ghana. I’m looking forward to making math accessible” — @angela_tabiri, postdoc at @AIMSGhana

As part of our workshop “Gender Equality in Practice”, students were divided into groups to discuss #gender inequality scenarios and come up with potential solutions.

Reminder: Both men and women are needed to create sustainable change!

Last month @AIMSGhana held the “Leadership + Climate Debate: The War of Words”. Students were challenged to discuss issues that affect the whole world.

One of the topics was: the slower pace of development in #Africa is a leadership problem.

What are your thoughts?
