The Speakers’ Series is Unveiling Africa’s major educational program in Canada. This annual program produced in the form of a conference, workshop or debate is a forum for engagement, critical thinking, discussion and action on global issues affecting Africa.

The speaker series is also a platform to promote intercultural learning and global citizenry and an avenue to ignite and sustain activism and social change amongst Africans and other concerned citizens. It particularly centers on youth participation and global youth activism by targeting an audience of Canadian youths as well African youths in Canada.

Every speaker series produced by Unveiling Africa sets out to do at least three main things:

• Promote and reinforce the understanding amongst Africans that Africa’s problem will not be solved by anyone else but Africans.
• Provide tools and resources to apply and transfer the speaker series knowledge and discussion beyond the event itself to day to day activities and discussions.
• Create platforms and initiatives that continuously promote global citizenship, intercultural learning and relationship building amongst participants.

In collaboration with community groups, student groups and educational institutions across Canada, the speaker series is produced during the fall of every year.
