2014 Mar 10

Bernard Botchway of Accra is a member of the executive board organizing the intercollegiate Pamoja60: Neo-Pan African Conference at Colby-Sawyer College on April 4 and 5.

The conference name, Pamoja60, combines the Swahili word pamoja, meaning united or together, with 60, representing the year 1960 when Pan-African ideals emerged. The conference theme, Neo Pan-Africanism: The Youthful Voice in African Development, takes a multidisciplinary approach to development over the past 50 years while considering ways to move forward. The goal of the event is to bring people together, especially college students from the Northeast, to discuss issues related to African unity and African development in the 21st century.
