Thursday August 13th 2026 was a great day of learning, conversation, and fresh ideas as the Centre of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEEI), IPAM, University of Sierra Leone, successfully hosted the Student Entrepreneurship Symposium 2026 as part of the SLEEK Monthly Student Entrepreneurship Activity.

Guided by the theme “Beyond the Classroom: Transforming Entrepreneurship Education into Innovation, Enterprise, and Impact,” the symposium brought students together to explore how entrepreneurship education can move from theory into practical action.

The conversation featured valuable contributions from Ms. Fatmata Fathima Kamara, Mr. Abraham Nicholas Kamara, and Mr. Sir Prince Malcolm Nuni. Fatmata spoke about supporting students to move their ideas from concepts into sustainable ventures. Abraham focused on applying entrepreneurship education to real-world opportunities, while Sir Prince Malcolm encouraged students to build creativity, innovation, and resilience as part of their entrepreneurial mindset.

The discussions reminded us that entrepreneurship is not simply about having a business idea. It is about seeing opportunities, solving problems, taking action, learning from challenges, and creating value.

As part of the SLEEK Project, the symposium reflects CEEI’s commitment to promoting entrepreneurship education and creating spaces where students can connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

A big thank you to our speakers, students, guests, and everyone who supported the programme. And to the CEEI Team, thank you for the dedication, teamwork, and effort that made the symposium a success.

The conversation has started. The ideas are flowing. Now, let’s take them beyond the classroom!
