Africultures Festival Report Launch

Please join us for the launch of new research, Celebrating Diversity, Fostering Unity: The Social Impact of the Africultures Festival, reporting on the social impact of the 2023 Africultures Festival – Australia’s premier African festival.

The research, conducted jointly by the Africultures Festival organising committee and researchers at the University of Technology Business School, analyses data collected from 2023 festival attendees, stallholders, and performers. The results illustrate how the festival promotes a sense of community among individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and enhances the capacity and social capital of stallholders and performers. These findings provide valuable insights into the festival's societal contributions.

At this event, you will hear:

• a presentation of key findings from the research
• the perspectives of key stakeholders and Q&A

Presenters include:

• Fatma Mohamed and Adama Kamara, Africultures Festival organising committee members
• Pavlina Jasovska and Najmeh Hassanli, University of Technology Sydney Business School

Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is free, but essential for catering purposes.
