The Future Festival hosts Africa’s largest conversation on diversity and inclusion Saturday 28 November | To air on Pop Central TV

The Central Working Committee of The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) today, has announced that its first-ever TV and digital edition of The Diversity Summit will hold on 28 November 2020.

The TV and digital diversity summit will bring together over 100 of the most influential leaders and thinkers across Nigeria and Africa to discuss and tackle urgent issues affecting young people, ranging from diversity, inclusion, equality, spirituality, identity, capitalism, environment, special needs and human rights. This year, the theme is ‘We can’t breathe: Exploring power, privilege and the potential for real change.’

“For 15 years, The Future Awards & Festival has pioneered social, public and private sector trends and change focused on youth-driven culture,” said Bukonla Adebakin, Chief Operating Officer, RED | For Africa and Senior Advisor to The Future Project.

“It is time once again to pioneer, by inspiring deep and wide conversations about the new frontiers of human potential that are now insistently knocking on Africa’s doors / it is time for players from governments to businesses to culture shapers to embrace these imperatives and build strategies that give them life. That future is inevitable, and this conversation will underscore why – and how we must proceed,” she added.

Panel sessions include topics such as;
Toxic Environment: Climate change and African governments
Nigeria is not America: Importing Western battles into Nigeria
The Vagina Dialogue: The line from purity culture to rape culture
The Turning Point Generation: Will Gen Z succeed where millennials are failing?
Love does not win elections: The only way young people can actually take over power
Not too young to run: Will young people in government actually change anything?
What were you wearing?’ How not to talk about rape
Wokespaces: What companies need to do about a socially engaged workforce
Be a man!’: The trap of toxic masculinity.
