Festival Meet-Ups

The Great African Debate. Meet-Up with The Quollective's Emuron Alemu

Wednesday 24 June, 15:30–16:30

Duration: 1 hour
Location: The Terrace, The Palais

Description:

In Africa, advertising and marketing professionals are the only creative industry that calls itself 'creative.’ But have other African creatives like musicians, filmmakers and fashion designers done significantly more to take African creativity to a global stage?

What do you think?

Join the Great African Debate and be a part of the argument. Take on the role as a Opposer, Proposer or even the Jury for this speed debate networking experience, where African creativity is the topic of discussion. Bring your thoughts, opinions and energy to connect with fellow delegates.
