Ideation Hub Africa, a leading public policy and social enterprise accelerator, has partnered with the Aspire Coronation Trust (ACT) Foundation to launch the African Masterclass Series (AMS) 4.0. This initiative aims to empower thousands of African social entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers by equipping them with essential skills to scale and sustain social impact.
The African Masterclass Series is an 8-week, 12-module immersive learning program designed to provide early-stage and mid-level changemakers, social innovators, nonprofit professionals, and impact-driven individuals with the tools they need to tackle Africa’s most pressing challenges. The AMS 4.0, which runs from September 16 to October 28, 2024, offers participants free access to practical insights on entrepreneurship and social innovation tailored to the African context.
Debola Deji-Kurunmi, Executive Director of Ideation Hub Africa, expressed her excitement about the partnership, saying, “We are committed to equipping changemakers with the skills and resources they need to drive social impact across Africa. The African Masterclass Series is one of the ways we fulfill that mission.”
Themed “Vision to Venture: Navigating Your Entrepreneurial Journey from Ideas to Impact,” this year’s AMS focuses on helping participants develop the critical competencies needed to transform their ideas into impactful ventures. The program emphasizes the importance of aligning vision with strategies, resources, and long-term objectives to address social challenges and foster community well-being.
This collaboration between Ideation Hub Africa and ACT Foundation is set to provide a much-needed platform for African changemakers to access knowledge, connect with like-minded individuals, and ultimately create meaningful change across the continent.
