This is an online, public facing event featuring an international expert panel which will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience, including policymakers in international development, NGOs and IGOs, and all those involved in work that addresses exploitation as an international development challenge.
The event launches the online exhibition and preview of accompanying report: ‘How can we practice freedom?’ www.aknexhibition.org. It will feature discussion of key findings and lessons learned from across a range of collaborative projects based in different countries in Africa: Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, DRC, Sierra Leone and Uganda. These all sought to address different forms of exploitation in creative ways that were ethically informed, survivor-involved, and driven by community needs. Panellists will reflect on the significance of the AKN for their own work, and there will be an opportunity for discussion about the meaning for future efforts to address the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Zoom link will be sent the day before the event by email to all those who register to attend.
Speakers:
• Nii Kwartelai Quartey, Jamestown Community Theatre
• Sophie Otiende, Founder and Director, Azadi Kenya
• Ursula Antwi-Boasiako, Senior Adviser & Deputy Head – Modern Slavery Team, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office
• Alice Eckstein, Delta 8.7, United Nations University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR)
• Alex Balch, University of Liverpool (chair)
