8:00 AM08:00

Echange des femmes entrepreneures. Enjeux et défis

Avec la compétitivité intellectuelle qui bat son plein au jour le jour, réunir les idées autour d’un échange s’avère très capital!

Sur ce, Afrika Yetu organise une activité pour clôturer le mois de la femme sous le thème: <<Echange des femmes entrepreneures. Enjeux et défis » dont le sous thème est « Femme autonome, actrice du développement durable au sein de la société. Réalité ou illusion ? ».

Ceci dans le souci de regrouper les merveilleuses pensées des femmes. Ces échanges auront pour but de confronter les expériences qui se vivent dans les champs d’activités de deux générations distinctes (l’ancienne et la nouvelle génération).
