We are proud to propose the **1TRIBE: Connecting Africa to the future with WEB3 and Polkadot** project to the Polkadot community. 

Our mission is to empower Africans  with the knowledge and skills to participate in the decentralized web3 economy, with a particular focus on Polkadot, through innovative educational programs and engaging multimedia content. 

At 1TRIBE, we recognize the power of **radio** as a tool for reaching a wider African audience. While our content primarily begins in a ****visual format****, we recognize that not all individuals have access to the internet or the time to engage with visual content. Therefore, we have made it our mission to incorporate a **radio format** into our platform to ensure that our message reaches a wider audience.

Radio is a powerful and accessible means of **information dissemination** that has proven to be a vital tool for community development in **Africa**. It is estimated that over 90% of Africans have access to radio, making it the most widely used medium of communication on the continent. In addition, radio has a lower barrier to entry, making it a cost-effective method of reaching impoverished communities.

Aside from terrestrial radio, we have also recognized the potential of the **online radio format**. With the rise of affordable smartphones and the growing availability of mobile internet across Africa, online radio presents an excellent opportunity to reach even more people on the continent and the diaspora. Online radio also consumes less data and is therefore more affordable for Africans with limited data plans.

Our hybrid format allows us to convert our **podcasts** and visual content into radio format, ensuring that no content goes to waste and making our content accessible to a wider audience.

This approach allows us to use the power of radio to cast a wider net, reaching those who may not have access to the internet or simply prefer to engage with audio content.

We are proud to collaborate with the Web3 Foundation Technical Education Team to ensure that all our **web3 education** is informed by the best technical knowledge available.

Our goals for 1TRIBE are as follows:

- **Foster** a diverse community of Africans, Africans in the diaspora, and people of African descent from around the world who are interested in web3 and Polkadot

- **Drive interest** in web3 and Polkadot by seamlessly incorporating African music, art, and fashion

- **Educate** Africa's budding entertainers, artists, musicians, and students about the potential of web3 and Polkadot

- **Provide** a platform for discussions and education about web3 and Polkadot

- **Encourage** the development and growth of the web3 ecosystem in


We believe that by achieving these goals, 1TRIBE will play a vital role in bridging Africa to the future with Polkadot. We thank the council for considering our proposal and look forward to the opportunity to build this novel approach to WEB3 education.
