Africa Week: 26 – 30 October 2020

Africa Week is a cross-university celebration of the University of Edinburgh’s links with the African continent. It encourages collaboration between our different communities, seeks to address current issues and asks important questions of the past, present and future. Africa Week 2020 embraces the theme of Movement. Our programme features events which tap into movement through privilege, movement which is sometimes forced, and movement which can be restricted. Learn during Africa Week how to make the move to study abroad, what it’s like to move to Edinburgh for the first time, how covid-19 has affected movement across the continent, and how we, as a university, can provide the tools for the continent’s future movers and shakers. Africa Week 2020 is a partnership between: Edinburgh Global, The Centre of African Studies, The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, Ekasi Podcast, Political Settlements Research Programme, The James Tait Black Prize, TIBA, Teaching Matters, Race.Ed, the African Caribbean Society, and the Scotland Africa Recruitment Group. Details coming soon on Edinburgh Global.
