SUMMARY:Navigating Vulnerability in a Macho World (Panel Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In our highly connected world\, men are buffeted by the confusing\, shifting currents of gender identity. Under pressure to show a feminine side on the one hand and to defend traditional ideas of masculinity on the other\, an acceptable balance can be difficult to navigate. How much flexibility should be expected of men? How do we support those who wish to conform to changing expectations\, and what role should cultural norms play? These and other thorny questions will be discussed by our male panellists.[/vc_column_text]Register Now[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Born in Blackness by Howard French and Uncommon Wealth by Kojo Koram (Book Chat)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Kovie Biakolo\, dives deep into our continental history and a possible future with authors Howard French and Kojo Karam. \nThe history of Africa has long been relegated to the outskirts of our global story. However\, in French’s sweeping narrative\, Africa and Africans are centred in a history that reframes the origins of modernity through the story of gold\, tobacco\, sugar and cotton\, and the twelve million people who were brought in chains from Africa to the “New World.” Author Kojo Koram tackles decolonisation\, one of the great global changes of the past hundred years\, in which Britain played a central role. In his book\, he uncovers the scandals of Britain’s colonial past and shows how far-reaching decisions made decades ago are contributing to the forces that are breaking Britain today.[/vc_column_text]Register Now[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Love\, Sex and Relationships (Intergenerational Discussion)

SUMMARY:Wealth and Success (Intergenerational Discussion)
