In the fifth episode of Edupreneur Talks, guest host Diane talks to Eric Asamoah Awuah, Founder and Executive Director of Speech Forces, whose mission is to develop critical thinking and expressive skills among children and youth.
Being a debate enthusiast, Eric Asamoah Awuah started Speech Forces as a volunteer group to help bridge the gaps in critical thinking and public speaking among high school students in Ghana. Together with the Speech Forces team, they have built the organisation into the preferred platform to develop young people into critical thinkers and skilful public speakers.
In this episode, Eric talks with guest host Diane about his entrepreneurial journey and reflects on the relevance of Speech Forces’ work in developing Ghanaian children to speak with clarity and confidence, and shares their passion for changing social and cultural norms which deter young people from public discourse and becoming active citizens.
