'Africa is more than wars, Boko Haram, terrorism, poverty and illnesses. It's a continent that's growing and full of potential.â?
The sixth international 'Conveying Harambee' contest wants to give a spotlight to the positive, yet often overlooked side of Africa. So, the judges are looking for every day stories that reflect the hope and rise of the continent.

'We're talking about the role of education as a tool for sustainability, the family, solidarity and mutual help. This year, we also introduced a new focus which deals with telling a positive story of integration in society.â?
