With have a proven track record delivering an exciting and extensive programme of events exploring a wide range of topics and issues for different audiences with an interest in Africa. The majority of our events are open to the general public and held at SOAS – University of London, or run collaboratively with other leading organisations, such as The British Library, the V&A Museum and the Rich Mix. 

 

Events are also an integral part of our other projects and programmes, such as the APPG for Africa which we administer, and our Education & Outreach work. Please read on to find out more about opportunities for partnering with us on an event. 

 

“I thought the quality of the speakers was exceptional. It was one of the most engaging and informative panels I’ve ever attended and really increased my knowledge of the context people are living in on the continent.”
