When: 28th of May, 10 am
Location: Amsterdam
Afrikadag 2022
On 28 May 2022 the Afrikadag will be held at the KIT in Amsterdam! After two years in which we were unable to organize Afrikadag, we cannot express how much we are looking forward to once again host this special event. There is no specific theme this year, as used to be the case with previous editions. Instead, we will focus on the core value of the Afrikadag: the importance of African voices in civic discussions and policy at the national and international level. How do we as the Netherlands and Europe relate to African countries, communities and people in the year 2022? How can we achieve the essential renewal of this relationship on equal footing? And what kind of impact have two years of Covid-19 had on this interaction? Such are the questions that we aim to answer at the 2022 Afrikadag. The broad theme provides for a wide range of options for participating organizations, with political-, cultural-, economic- and cultural workshops all making an appearance.
The Afrikadag has been the largest event bringing Africa into the Netherlands for over 25 years. The annual event brings together about 1500 visitors, Dutch and international speakers, 100 volunteers and over 40 partner organizations to the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in Amsterdam. This makes the Afrikadag count as the largest public event concerning Africa and international cooperation in the Netherlands. The day consists of multiple rounds of workshops, readings, dialogues and films. There is no lack of culture either, with African music, -books and -food available at the (informative) market fair. The aim of this day is to put force behind African voices, bringing together people interested in Africa and international cooperation and start conversations about news forms of cooperation between Africa and Europe based on equal footing.
