Obviously education is one of the topics that is important to me. recently I wrote about a teach first project. 6 month ago I was participating in a workshop organized by the Universities of Koblenz. This workshop was for future entrepreneurs teaching them some basics about design thinking and about business plans! Together with two other students and Philipp Reineke a student from WHU vallendar, who I met several times afterwards, we were following my idea of an open education social start up for Africa.
If you want to have a look at the business plan (in German language!) contact me. But I can’ publish it here.
Our concept was basically driven by the idea that the internet is an incredible source of information and knowledge and yields huge potential to bring education at very low cost to African countries (once you change the rules of how education is delivered and once you bring the infrastructure to africa) and the assumption that a country basically needs good education in order to develope!
Today I came across a video from Google search stories that totally supports this idea. I know from verious sources that google is rather active in brining internet to africa (e.g. there is o3b networks = other three billion networks: A company heavily supported by google with the goal to bring internet to the rest of the world!)
So have a look at this video:

what is your oppinion on africa and the internet?
