Amidst multiple crises facing the world, one development gives hope: the "Fix the country" initiative in Ghana. Young people have used the new possibilities of the Internet and were able to break through the information monopoly of the ruling privileged forces.

In Ghana, young people in particular have taken advantage of new opportunities to make their problems known and demand solutions. The Internet provides more opportunities than ever before: you can now break the monopoly of the elites to control the public information and discussion. Journalists have built up media in Ghana with which they can reach people all over the country and which people can use to make their problems an issue. Can this work in other countries as well? The Internet gives us the opportunity to learn from each other across all borders: how can we change our countries and the world where all people can live well and not just privileged minorities.

This evnet is hosted by the International Peacefactory Wanfried.
