What role can African philosophy play in shaping development across the continent? How can identity empower Africans in the diaspora to build stronger connections and community? What barriers prevent true solidarity within African communities, both at home and abroad? And does the philosophy of Ubuntu—“I am because you are”—offer all the answers, or does it have its own challenges?
Join us on 26 November, 6:30-7:30PM (UK Time) or 8:30-9:30PM (SA Time) on Zoom for an interactive powerful conversation on these questions and more. Co-hosted by the Young Africa Centre (YAC), the Young Emerging Leaders Collective (YELC) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) South Africa, this talk brings together leading voices to explore how African philosophical insights can guide unity, resilience, and action across the diaspora and beyond. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding and build connections rooted in African values!
