In the heart of Bonthe, where the sky meets the sea, the Ministry of Information and Civic Education is hosting its annual retreat. This event serves as a gathering for those responsible for shaping Media and Civic Education Strategies.
Surrounded by palm trees and a gentle breeze, this retreat provides a peaceful space for reflection, teamwork, and planning. Over the course of three days, 2nd to 4th February 2026, participants will step away from the busy energy of the capital to share ideas, dreams, and aspirations.
This retreat symbolizes a clear purpose, especially in the serene atmosphere of Bonthe, where valuable insights can emerge. Staff members will take the opportunity to move beyond their daily routines, reflecting on past accomplishments and experiences. Each conversation and interaction will serve as a building block for innovation and active engagement. This environment fosters the growth of ideas and lays the groundwork for meaningful outreach in the coming year.
In this natural setting, we have the chance to guide our path forward. In the coming year, we face an important task: The President, His Excellency Dr Julius Maada Bio declared 2026 as the year of action in his New Year Message to the nation. No ifs, no buts. It is a moment to lead the government’s communication efforts for us as a Ministry. Our goal is to share vital information clearly, timely, accurately and effectively, much like flowers blooming in spring. We aim to promote civic participation throughout the country, from rural villages to busy city streets, ensuring our messages resonate deeply with everyone.
This retreat is more than just a meeting; it is a transformative experience. We gather not only to look back but also to move forward, aligning our shared vision with the needs of the nation. We are dedicated to creating pathways that promote transparency, trust, and community involvement. In this special environment, we harness the power of communication, empowering citizens with knowledge and working toward a brighter future.
Let us embark on this journey together, armed with valuable insights and a commitment to making a difference. The collective wisdom of our Ministry holds the key to not only informing people but to engage and inspire them as well. In the peaceful embrace of Bonthe, we will weave together the lessons of the past to create a hopeful and dynamic future, ready to unfold across our cherished nation.
