Participants completed the week with a moving and engaging closing ceremony where they anchored their learning and commitments, and received frameable program certificates

Strangers became friends, became colleagues and everyone ended the week with a huge network of resource people to call on.

New friends were made, new bonds were forged and everyone left with 40+ peers they can call all to help with problems and issues as they arise

The program brought together nearly 50 participants from throughout Ghana and across Africa for an intense program. Through lectures, groupwork, case studies, role-playing and inter-active real-world scenarios, participants focused on how to align business, social and environmental value in ways

that would strengthen business and support SDG progress.

The program brought together nearly 50 participants from throughout Ghana and around Africa. They spent the week actively engaged in a customized suite of activities designed to give them knowledge, tools, frameworks and pragmatic understanding about how to use corporate social responsibility to create business value and, simulta-neously, value for communities, society and environment.

Learning with and from peers and colleagues from nine different countries and 13 different sectors and industries, they spent the week actively engaged in lectures, case-studies, role-playing scenarios, situational analysis, group-work and even a guided meditation ex-ercise.

Faculty lead, Wayne Dunn, President and Founder of the CSR Training Institute was supported by Laurel Sabur as well as special guest lecturers. The session opened with a discussion on CSR as a value generation strat-egy and a thorough debunking of the myth of CSR being about charity and philanthropy.

Participants were advised that if they came looking for answers, it was the wrong program. The overall objective was to give them understanding, perspective, knowledge and insight that would enable them to ask smarter questions and find

their own answers.

The program consisted of two units, three-days focused on CSR Economics and how to be more efficient at creating and aligning business, social and environmental value. This was followed by a two-day dive into Impact Measurement.

MANAGING CSR FOR #VALUECREATION

Csr must be about creating value, not simply passing it from business to community. That is the underlying theme that perme-ates all aspects of the master class series.

Participants engaged in lively debates and shared learning around issues,

concepts and real-world case-studies.

Participants were asked to provide one-word comments to describe the week. These are some of the most frequently used.

The program included numerous inter-active sessions. Here the par-ticipants are engaging in a simulated community gathering involving tradition-al leadership, a rebellious youth group, mining and telecom interests as well as local government. Role-playing ses-sions like this enabled participants from government, industry, civil society and international organizations to better un-derstand issues and perspectives from the viewpoint of other stakeholders.

The faculty team brought global best practice knowledge and delivered it in way that it was understood, absorbed, processed and participants left feeling ready to apply it when they go to work on Monday.

Engage-ment was intense as participants took full ad-vantage of the diversity of the group to learn with and from each other and to forcefully make points and defend positions Everyone worked hard, really, really hard, but a lot

of fun was had by all. FUN was one of the most frequent responses to the “describe the class in one word” question

No community meeting around contested develop-ment issues is complete without a band of exuberant and forceful youth making their presence felt
