SUMMARY:Nelson Mandela Lecture | Elnathan John
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to annouce the speaker for the 2nd Nelson Mandela Lecture: Nigerian writer\, satirist and lawyer Elnathan John (b. 1982). As a remarkable and dynamic voice\, John is a multiple award winning author. His essays and blogs are published by The Guardian\, Sunday Trust\, Le Monde Diplomatique\, The Economist\, ZAM Magazine and Chimurenga Chronic amongst others. As an independent thinker and a witty critic of power abuse\, oppression and self-aggrandizement\, John  is feared for his sharpness and admired for his courage and superb writing.  \nHis first novel\, Born on a Tuesday\, was published in 2015 by Cassava Republic and translated into German and French\, followed this year by Be(coming) Nigerian and\, very recently\, his first comic book in collaboration with Alaba Onajin: On Ajayi Crowther Street. Also in 2019\, John was a judge of the Man Booker International Prize for Literature.  \nThe Nelson Mandela Lecture is a ZAM initiative. Patrons Femke Halsema (Major of Amsterdam)\, Conny Braam (writer\, former President of the Dutch Anti Apartheid Movement)\, Adriaan van Dis (writer)\, Hennah Draaibaar (producer)\, Marjan Goslings (former judge)\, Zakes Mda (writer\, artist)\, Mpho Tutu (reverend) and Henk Wals (director of the International Institute for Social History). Nelson Mandela Lecture Ambassador: Boris Dittrich (writer\, senator\, human rights activist).  \nThe logo of the lecture is with the artist’s permission based on Marlene Dumas’ Portrait of a Young Nelson Mandela.  \nLooking forward to welcome you on March 1st at the Nelson Mandela Lecture 2020!  \nZAM Team

SUMMARY:ECR Africa Summit 2020
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday the 4th March 2020\, the ECR Group – Conservatives & Reformists in the European Parliament will host their second annual Africa Summit. Building on the success of the first ECR Africa Summit in 2019\, this year’s summit will examine and discuss policy options to develop a stronger relationship between the EU and Africa. \nThe first panel will discuss open\, inclusive\, accountable governance. This is fundamental to delivering sustainable development\, tackling global challenges and reducing the risk of spreading instability.  \nSecondly\, we acknowledge and champion the participation of women in politics and in society. Several African countries have significantly increased the proportion of women represented in their governments over the past few years. However\, women remain poorly represented in many other countries. \nDuring the afternoon\, we will focus on Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) and the opportunities for furthering the digital economy in Africa. FDI has become an important part of the continent’s economic growth. \nThe digital economy in Africa provides not only opportunities for increased job creation and data for actionable insights\, but can also serve as the basis for recognising human rights\, accelerating access to quality basic services\, improving transparency and the accountability of governments\, and enhancing democracy. \nFor more information and to register: https://ecrgroup.eu/event/ecr_africa_summit_2020

SUMMARY:Stijn Vercruysse - Is er een toekomst voor Afrika?
DESCRIPTION:VRT-boegbeeld en Afrikakenner Stijn Vercruysse maakt een ‘staat van Afrika’ op. Hij vertrekt daarbij vanuit hét nieuwsthema van de afgelopen jaren: de vluchtelingencrisis. Uiteraard focust hij daarbij uit de migratie vanuit Afrika. Wat gaat er in Afrika allemaal fout waarvoor mensen op de loop gaan en ondanks de grote gevaren Europa willen bereiken? \nWe kennen Afrika van burgeroorlogen\, hongersnoden\, een plek waar veel kinderen geboren worden\, waar extreme armoede heerst … Klopt dat beeld of gaat het beter dan we denken? Stijn vertelt\, aan de hand van filmmateriaal\, een genuanceerd antwoord op deze vraag. Hij doet daarvoor beroep op zijn intens opgedane journalistieke ervaringen. \nStijn Vercruysse werkt sinds 2007 voor ‘Het Journaal’ en ‘Terzake’. Voordien was hij reporter voor het programma ‘Voor De Dag’ op Radio 1. Hij specialiseerde zich rond Afrika\, de Hoorn van Afrika en de klimaatverandering. De laatste tijd maakt hij heel wat reportages over vluchtelingen.

SUMMARY:Netwerkevent voor de Kaapverdiaanse gemeenschap
DESCRIPTION:Om de verbinding tussen het netwerk en de Kaapverdiaanse gemeenschap goed te laten verlopen\, is het idee geboren om iedere maand een openbare Cabo Lounge Network te organiseren. Initiatieven\, organisatoren\, belangstellenden kunnen zaken agenderen en het netwerk mobiliseren. \nZo’n maandelijkse meeting is ook een kans om samen te werken aan langlopende thema’s en projecten zoals inclusiviteit\, geschiedenis\, maatschappelijke vraagstukken en storytelling.
