“Born "Free" Generations: Transformations and Engagements in Politics, Development, and Citizenship across Africa-Asia”
This year marks a significant milestone, commemorating 30 years since pivotal transformations across Africa, such as the first democratic election in South Africa, the genocide in Rwanda, and pro-multiparty democracy movements across sub-Saharan Africa. Regarding Africa-Asia relations, it has also been 30 years since the 'Bandung Framework for Asia-Africa Cooperation,' a follow-up to the first Tokyo International Conference on African Development.
In 2024, the conference will capture how the youths born after crucial transitions have been taking ownership and advancing the future of the continent, and forging solid partnerships across Africa and Asia. Your collaborative dialogue will be instrumental in providing a platform for in-depth reflections and prospects on the journey of Afrasia, envisioning the generation's unique perspectives on historical transitions, current challenges, and future aspirations.
Among the possible topics that could be addressed at this conference are:
• Youth Leadership in Social Movements and Activism
• Decolonization in Education
• Gen Z in Contemporary Culture and Media
• Reconciliation and Persistent Inequalities
• Intersection of Development and Social Justice
• Global Injustice and Africa's Distinctive Role
• Africa-Asia diaspora and mobilities
