07 / AN OPEN LAB FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION
Proposals to explore together — programmes for discussion, ready to be shaped by members and partners.
A monthly discussion of one African thinker, with a short guide and a question that connects the text to everyday life.
Gather five people in your neighbourhood, campus, or community association, read a chapter of Africa Must Unite, and ask: which forms of cooperation could we build locally?
Invite communities to record elders’ stories, local histories, and memories of organising.
Start with one consent-based interview. Let the speaker review the recording and choose how it is shared.
Explore a network for exchanging mentoring, language, creative, and professional skills across borders.
Map the skills people can offer and the needs a community identifies, then trial one small exchange.
Bring Pan-African ideas to more people through accessible summaries and community-led translation.
Choose a short public-domain text and collaborate with fluent speakers to translate and review it.
Create space for evidence, community experience, and respectful debate about repair and restitution.
Use the Accra Proclamation as a shared reading and invite participants to define the questions they want answered.
Ask thinkers, artists, organisers, and young people how they imagine a united Africa.
Record a pilot conversation around three questions: what connects us, what holds us back, and what can we do together?
