The Team took turns to speak about their expertise and trends that are moving on in the current age. Israel Laryea, the executive head of Influencer Africa, encouraged the students to look within and explore their talents to the benefit of creating good content especially in the digital evolving age. “Don't put yourself in a box”, Mr. Laryea urged. Participants were given time to ask questions and were refreshed after the programme.
