International Development and Design Summit (IDDS)-Ghana

Posted on | February 19, 2009 | No Comments |

We are excited to announce that during July/August 2009, IDDS will be hosted at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. KNUST faculty John Quansah and Crossman Hormenoo attended the first IDDS in 2007, returned to help organize IDDS 2008, and are now prepared to lead the summit in Ghana. IDDS 2009 participants will work with villages and develop prototypes in the workshops at KNUST and Suame Magazine. Suame Magazine is an informal manufacturing cluster of 80,000 artisans, a haven of metalworking micro-enterprises. However, IDDS will continue to include projects for a variety of communities and countries, and the projects will not be solely focused on implementations in Ghana.
