Voices of Africa
This session aims to attract participants who have a good experience of working with Africa, to share knowledge, identify existing projects and discuss interesting and important ways of moving forward. After years of including art and culture in their bilateral and regional funding programmes with the ACP countries (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific), the EU Directorate for Development last year encouraged arts professionals from ACP and EU to collaboratively produce “The Brussels Declaration”, setting out the sector’s demands for effectively harnessing artistic creation as a vector of human and economic development. In collaboration with Visiting Arts, one of the active European organisations in Africa, we will come together to share information on new ideas, work, exciting artists, partnerships and initiatives that bring crucial, fresh and innovative approaches to collaborative exchange between Europe and Africa.
