All in all, three presentations were given, concerning the topics "Social Market Economy in Ghanaian Context", "Environmental Sustainability - The Role of Traders" and "Environmental Sustainability - The Role of the Community". Each of these were presented by an experienced Ghanaian expert.

After the three presentations, there was time for an open audience discussion on the topics and a group workshop leading into four group presentations on environmental topics.

The organizers of the program were highly impressed by the attendance and moreover the level of participation. The lessons and suggestions that emerged should be put into practice to motivate others to follow.
