I INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS ON AFRICA
Nanou Ki Association, specialized in sustainable development and Human Rights, in collaboration with the University of Valladolid, convenes the First Congress of Young Researchers on Africa as a meeting place for all those interested in sharing their knowledge with the academic community. After the experience of the two previous editions of the Congreso Formativo en Cooperación Internacional (currently Congreso Formativo en Desarrollo Sostenible –CoDeS–), there is now a need to organize an Academic Congress that welcomes students, academics and professionals interested in research and the dissemination of African Studies.
The organization will accept contributions that examine the local, regional, national and international dimensions of issues related to this subject. This will serve as a framework for reflection in which interdisciplinary studies can be accommodated. Since this Congress is part of the III CoDeS, the theme will revolve around the national and international policies imposed on African countries and the resistance generated against those policies.
