Sema Live | Episode 5 - HiA x WIPO

July 15, 2022 • Hosted in Africa Productions • Season 1 • Episode 5

In this episode Hosted in Africa (HiA) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) come together to discuss the 2022 International Youth Day theme: "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages".

The HiA team was joined by Edward Kwakwa (Assistant Director General of WIPO and responsible for the organization's Global Challenges and Partnerships sections) and Nadine Hakizimana (WIPO's Youth Engagement Facilitator). They are both Members of the HiA Network and its various Communities.

In this episode we delve into issues, tensions and intersections concerning current generations; with a focus on innovation, leadership, self-expression, and on regenerating Global Africa in the spirit of Ubuntu.

On innovation, we lean on the expertise of our WIPO guests to discuss the much needed development of intellectual property approaches that align with African realities through Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expression protections.

Serious stuff! but delivered with that quintessential African verve, warmth and liveliness.
Tune in!
