On Saturday 7 November it is time for the Africaday 2015! This special event will again take place in the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. Our main guests are none other than Makthar Diop, World Bank Vice President for Africa, Bert Koenders, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lilianne Ploumen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, and Lodewijk Asscher, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Social Affairs and Employment. The main theme ‘new players’ in Africa will be discussed by many interesting speakers and enthusiastic visitors in more than forty workshops, debates, lectures and on the information market. Of course, we also offer a rich cultural programme with interviews, movies, live music, dance and a book presentation! Special attention to the main theme will be paid during the ‘China and Africa’ debate and during the workshop by Michiel Hulshof about Chinese cities in Africa, which you absolutely should not miss! After the closing reception in the Royal Tropical Institute we will finish the day in style with the afterparty ‘Africa at Night’ in Q-Factory, where you can enjoy delicious African food and musicians who will rip the dance floor with their ecstatic African beats. We see you on the 7th!
