African Solutions to African Problems | Wednesday, February 12, 2014
You are cordially invited to the Ambassadors Series 2014 – AFRICA PANEL 1 featuring “African Solutions to African Problems.” Africa is the birthplace of humanity and civilizations. Since the beginning of humanity, Africa’s experience with its history, culture, art, and music has been a major source of inspiration for the world. With significant progress made in overcoming its long-standing challenges on education, health and economy, Africa has become a major player in the international community in recent years.
In this context, Peace Islands Institute would like to focus on the growing African involvement in international affairs and its influence on world heritage with a series of forums in collaboration with the Journalists and Writers Foundation.
