The Africa’s Potential lectures.
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
During February 2010 the Founder & CEO of Africa’s Potential, Emre Gürler, held a lecture for the business students (Civilekonomprogrammet) at the Linnaeus University‘s School of Management and Economics.
The lecture was a mix between how to get inspired to climb out of your comfort zone and to actually dare to take a look outside the security barriers that we in the Western world have created. We have to do this in order to see the vast opportunities that exist in for example the East-African region. A large reason why the world is waking up slowly is due to the fact of the African stereotypes and negative massmedia portrayal of the African continent. Or rather, the lack of focus on the success stories of the continent. There has to be a more balanced massmedia picture of the African continent in order to make the general public aware of the vast opportunities that actually exist. What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the word Africa? Is it positive or negative and why is that?
