Gird Writing Camp, the annual writing training program dedicated to supporting young professionals and students in their creative, business and academic pursuits is open for registration this October.<\/p>\n
As typical of Gird Writing Camp, the organizers, Gird Center, has gathered the support of Ghana\u2019s creative, business, and academic giants to teach at this year\u2019s camp. Gird Writing Camp 2016 offers 5 writing workshops with focus on Fiction, Non-fiction, Business Writing, Academic Writing and Poetry.<\/p>\n
Professor Ama Ata Aidoo and Dr. Martin Egblewobge kick off this year\u2019s camp with a Fiction Workshop on\u00a0October 22. Others to join in on subsequent weekends up to\u00a0November 19\u00a0are Prof Esi Sutherland-Addy and Mr. Kobby Graham for Non-Fiction, Ms. Kate Addo and Mr. Samuel Ameyaw Ntiamoah for Business Writing, Dr. O\u0323ba\u0301de\u0301le Kambon and Ms. Ama Akwaa Akuamoah for Academic Writing and Prof. Kofi Anyidoho and Nana Nyarko Boateng for Poetry.<\/p>\n
Ms Kate Addo, the Acting Director of Ghana\u2019s parliament and the Visiting Expert for the Business Writing Workshops said, \u201cI have observed with great admiration the work that Gird Center does with regards to equipping young people with skilful communication tools. In today’s world, ambiguities continue to remain the bane of both formal and informal communication mainly due to inappropriate use of language.\u00a0 Determining one’s audience and designing the appropriate message for them has therefore become imperative.\u00a0It is therefore my utmost pleasure to be part of Gird Center\u2019s efforts to equip young people to deliver accurate, succinct information to their various publics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana Nyarko Boateng, CEO of the Gird Center said, \u201cGird Writing Camp 2016 is going to be the most exciting yet. Our camp does not teach writing for the sake of it. We are building a strong community of young creative, business and academic professionals who will transform Ghana\u2019s economy and culture. Gird Writing Camp provides knowledge sharing opportunities and the highest standards of support for young professionals and students.\u201d<\/p>\n
