UNBOXED 2025

Too many events talk. Few show. UNBOXED is different.

We’ve attended conferences. We’ve heard the theories.

But where are the events that break it down, show the steps, and walk you through the real work?

That’s what UNBOXED by MCRATE-C is about.

An open event for anyone looking to: Learn a skill

Start something new

Build something real

Serve with impact — and stay true to their values

We’re bringing people who do the work — not just talk about it.

From YouTube content monetization, to building businesses, running NGOs, and creating agricultural brands — this event is all about showing you how it’s done.

Empowering Youth: Creativity, Technology, and Leadership in Action

On December 27th, 2024, I had the honor of joining a dynamic group of speakers in Buea for a powerful restitution event hosted by Miss Hussaina Fadimatou A, a passionate advocate for gender equality, peace, and community development. The theme, “Empowering Youth for Democracy and Peacebuilding,” was more than a discussion, it was a call to action.

As a tech enthusiast, creative thinker, and founder of MCRATE-C, I contributed to the conversation by exploring how leadership impacts creativity and technology-driven youth. My session emphasized that leadership isn’t just a distant concept, it directly shapes our ability to innovate, create, and make lasting impacts in our communities.

The event highlighted several critical points:

How social media, when used wisely, can elevate youth voices and encourage inclusive leadership.

The importance of aligning youth vision with leadership to ensure their creativity and tech innovations serve their communities.

Opportunities for young people to engage in leadership roles through organizations and platforms, both locally and internationally.

Why the right mindset is essential to drive meaningful participation in democracy and peacebuilding.

The energy in the room was inspiring, with everyone bringing fresh perspectives and solutions to pressing challenges. It’s clear that with the right leadership, creativity, and mindset, young people can and will reshape the future.

This event wasn’t just a conversation; it was a step toward empowering youth to become the change-makers, leaders, and innovators our communities need.

Let’s keep building a brighter, more inclusive future, together.

Our aim with this initiative was not just to impart technical knowledge but to ignite a spirit of creativity and innovation within each participant. We wanted them to feel empowered to explore the vast possibilities that graphic design offers and to realize their potential as digital creators.

At MCRATE-C, we are passionate about empowering communities through education and skill-building initiatives. Our latest project, aimed at providing digital skills to the Muslim community across Cameroon, is well underway, and we couldn't be more excited about the progress we've made so far.

In our unwavering commitment to uplift the Muslim community through education and technology, MCRATE-C recently conducted a transformative webinar on website creation. Led by the dynamic Leila Ousmanou Fadimatou, a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience in building websites for numerous clients, this event aimed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit within our community members.

Engineer Chung Kiynenfeyen Ndansak, hailing from the vibrant Northwest region of Cameroon, embodies the spirit of innovation and empowerment. A multifaceted professional with a passion for technology, he has left an indelible mark on the industry and communities he serves.
