The Tumaini Project – Jan 22, 2014

Date: Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014

Time: 6:00 -8:00 pm

Place: Multipurpose Room, Liu Institute for Global Issues

History is always in the process of being created. It is a Story that implicates us all, and is shaped by the hands, wills, and ideas of those who dare to believe it. Through the Tumaini we aim to bring in the future and/or current and movers and shapers of the continent to inspire, share ideas, and celebrate the brilliance that exists in and from Africa, in an interactive and engaging environment. The Tumaini Project, presented by Africa Awareness Initiative, is an opportunity to explore this notion in a pragmatic way, as key leaders share their experiences in ‘Re-Writing the Story’ with students. It will focus specifically on the Story of the African continent and its young people who will be central actors and writers in this ever emerging story. It is designed to build the practical skills, knowledge, and understandings to propel the African Dream, to forge connections and build networks, and to continually show just how much Africa has to give to the world.

This event is brought to you by the African Awareness Initiative, in partnership with the Liu Institute for Global Issues, as part of the Conference Week, Re-Writing the Story — January 20-24th 2014.
