Welcome to the second episode of the Africast podcast!

In today's episode, Michael Anokye from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) talks about his experience in academia and education in Ghana. He also explains how the different cultures of the different regions of Ghana come together at university.

What is the Africast podcast?

Africast started as a group project within the scholarship program of the TUM: Junge Akademie. The three students behind this project are Jaimee Lau, Marius Merkle and Patrick Sowinski, all of them students at the Technical University of Munich with different study backgrounds. Currently, a total of six podcast episodes is planned to be released in 2019. The guests will range from students and academic workers to researchers and professionals from Ghana. Our goal is to raise awareness for academic projects in Ghana and to help people from Germany and Europe to learn more about them. The project was inspired by the TUM Africa Initiative, which aims to strengthen the collaboration between the TUM and different universities in Africa.

In the next episode, Frank Achampeong will talk about the challenges of electric waste management in Ghana.
