Development Partnership
As part of the Open Data Day celebration, Open Knowledge Ghana joined forces with IMPLEMENTERS, Frontline for Climate, Eco Warriors Movement, and Open Goes COP to organize a one-day workshop at T.I. Ahmadiyya Girls’ Senior High School.
This initiative was part of the Open Climate Education for Senior High Schools in Ghana project, spearheaded by Otuo Boakye Acheampong of the Eco Warriors Movement and Maxwell Beganim, and is aimed at equipping students with knowledge and practical tools to take climate action in their communities.
The opening remarks of the Open Climate Education session were delivered by Daniel Ntiamoah-Danquah, Senior Partnerships Associate, IMPLEMENTERS. He highlighted the pressing challenges we face due to climate change and the urgent need for action. He also encouraged students to see themselves as future leaders and change-makers, leveraging education and tools shared at the workshop to build a sustainable and climate-resilient future.
Further remarks were given by Dan McGuire from SABIER, who introduced students to the Sopala Project and the use of Moodle and Kiwix. Following this, the students participated in digital literacy and climate literacy training, where they were introduced to the concept of Open Education and how they can effectively contribute to the Open Movement. Students learned about Open Educational Resources (OER) and other tools available for climate change education.
The event concluded with closing remarks emphasizing the importance of information literacy and digital literacy, particularly in light of the introduction of a new curriculum for Senior High Schools.
At IMPLEMENTERS, we recognize the power of open education in creating a lasting impact. Our involvement in this initiative aligns with our commitment to integrating technology, education, and sustainability to drive real change. As we continue to collaborate on climate and digital literacy projects, we look forward to empowering more young minds to take bold steps toward a sustainable future.
