IGIHE held an exclusive interview with Kageruka Alexandra a YRP member. Below are excerpts of the brief interview.
IGIHE: {{Why have you organized such an event?}}
{{Kageruka Alexandra}}: The idea is, as written above, to transform an idea into reality
The mission of YRP is to accompany entrepreneurs of the Rwandan diaspora settled in Europe to achieve their goals. Ingenuity and motivation are the key words however lots of obstacles such as time, money, work and family can prevent to move forward.
YRP is then committed to collaborate, surround, showcase and support several projects from the very beginning up to the achievement of it.
This initiative started 3 years ago with the platform Rwanda Business. A few “ Afro Optimistic “ partners gathered and decided to act more and talk less.
Different profiles were amongst the participants. They were entrepreneurs, owners of companies and working professionals coming from all over Europe (Belgium, Switzerland, France, UK, Turkey, …).
They met up in Brussels because they were aware that entrepreneurship, professionalism and action are the tools needed for a personal and a country development..
IGIHE:{{ How does the Rwanda Week Europe work?}}
{{Kageruka Alexandra}}: The Rwanda Week Europ takes place every year in a European city. Geneva was chosen as the host city for 2013. As it is the third time, maturity defines this edition.
Several thematic workshops and a plenary session are scheduled. Future entrepreneurs, projects leaders will present their cases and work, together with the attendees and partners, on a way to make it happen and be successful.
This year, the YRP manage to add a cherry on top of the cake.
The well- known concept”Happy People Party” will land in Geneva, Saturday 14 September from 22pm until 05am. First time ever in Europe and most probably a night to remember. A very nice and pleasant way to end up the whole event. King James and DJ Karim, famous artists in Rwanda, will attend the party and set Geneva on fire.
