Alkebulan Culture Festival and Workshop: A Celebration of African Heritage and Leadership in Rwanda

(This was conference that was held in Zimbabwe)

We’re excited to announce that the Alkebulan Culture Festival and Workshop will be held in Rwanda this December 2024! This groundbreaking event will mark the first edition of a unique cultural experience, uniting advocates, entrepreneurs, and creatives from all over Africa. For the first time, the continent will witness a dynamic fusion of culture, learning, and leadership development in an event designed to inspire, empower, and connect people passionate about Africa’s future.

A Collaboration of Visionaries

Alkebulan Culture and InterContinental Youth have come together to create a festival unlike any other, one that will not only celebrate African culture but also nurture the next generation of African leaders. This collaboration aims to encourage aspiring change-makers by providing a platform to showcase their talents and leadership skills while giving attendees a chance to fully immerse themselves in what it means to be African—through music, poetry, dance, and food.

A Cultural Explosion: Music, Poetry, Dance, and Food

The Alkebulan Culture Festival will be an unforgettable celebration of African diversity, bringing together musicians, poets, and dance groups from across the continent. Imagine the sounds of traditional African instruments blending with modern beats, poetry that speaks to the heart of the African experience, and dance performances that capture the soul of our cultures. Whether you’re drawn to Afrobeat, spoken word, or the rhythms of Zulu and Maasai dances, this event will showcase the best of Africa's artistic talent.

And, of course, no cultural celebration would be complete without food! The African Food Festival will feature an array of authentic dishes from every corner of Alkebulan (Africa). Whether you crave the spicy flavors of West African Jollof, the rich tastes of Ethiopian Injera, or the savory delights of South African Braai, the festival will offer a delicious journey through Africa’s culinary traditions.

More Than a Festival: A Platform for Debate and Leadership

While the festival promises an incredible cultural experience, it’s also a space for serious discussions and leadership development. Delegates attending the workshop will have the opportunity to debate pressing global issues, negotiate resolutions, and form strategies to address Africa’s most critical challenges.

In a series of specially designed sessions, participants will dive into sensitive political, economic, and social topics affecting the continent and the world at large. Delegates may be assigned countries different from their own, creating a thrilling and thought-provoking environment where they’ll sharpen their diplomatic and problem-solving skills. This is an unparalleled chance for attendees to grow as leaders and advocates for Africa’s future.

Why Alkebulan?

At Alkebulan, we believe in using the original name for our beloved continent—Alkebulan, meaning “Mother of Mankind” or “Garden of Eden.” This festival is a celebration of the deep cultural roots, resilience, and creativity that define Alkebulan and its people.

Miss Rwanda? No Problem—We’re Just Getting Started

If you’re unable to join us in Rwanda this December, don’t worry! This is just the beginning. We’ll be hosting four conferences a year across different regions of Alkebulan, giving you multiple opportunities to participate in this unique experience of cultural exchange, leadership training, and networking.

Stay tuned for more information about registration dates and upcoming events. Whether you’re an aspiring leader, a creative visionary, or simply passionate about African culture, the Alkebulan Culture Festival and Workshop is your chance to be part of something truly transformative.

Come Celebrate, Learn, and Lead. Together, we can shape the future of Alkebulan.
