[Culture] UEMF African Week

The first edition of an annual series of events, UEMF African Week represents an appointment but also an opportunity to meet, communicate and reflect together on the challenges and opportunities related to Africa.

This event takes place in the same context as the International Day for Cultural Diversity and Africa Day, respectively scheduled for May 21 and 25, 2021. Given its international scope, several eminent figures from the diplomatic world, in particular several ambassadors from brotherly and friendly African countries, as well as figures from the academic and cultural world, the economic and social sector and Civil Society, will take part in this week dedicated to the African continent.

Main activities and objectives:

This event will be mainly marked by three major daily activities. “The UEMF African Week ceremony will feature various activities including conferences and roundtables, cultural and recreational activities and a key moment for fruitful exchanges with invited national and international companies and organizations,” explain the organizers, who are eagerly awaiting the start of the event.

UEMF African Week aims to promote a better understanding of our continent; create a meeting space bringing together diplomats, business leaders, researchers, journalists, etc., to interpret the internal and external dynamics that drive the continent, propose frameworks for reading African realities in their diversity and complementarities, reflect and debate on themes of common interest for Africa, the perspectives and development models, rethink together the new strategic orientations that Africa in general and Morocco in particular must implement in light of what the “Europe Mediterranean Africa” axis represents in terms of development opportunities and potential.”

An event aimed at Africa’s development:

In addition, UEMF African Week will allow participants to get to know Africa better, promote exchanges and facilitate meetings with recruiters and decision-makers active on the continent, and finally, to become aware of Africa’s potential in terms of human resources.

Through this event, UEMF and Bank of Africa wish to stimulate concrete initiatives and actions for the development of the continent. Thus, the University plans to organize a similar event very soon in three capitals of Sub-Saharan Africa, notably Dakar (Senegal), Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) and Libreville (Gabon).
