Barcamps are a user-generated conference (or unconference). It is an open, participatory workshop-event, whose content is provided by participants. Barcamp Ghana is a project being run by the GhanaThink Foundation, an NGO based both in Ghana and the USA. WIkimedia Ghana is leveraging on the popularity of this camp which has given the platform to recruit the best members we have yet, to recruit more en mass.
