Event Details
AFROPUNK Solution Sessions in Partnership with RedBull Amaphiko
@ Constitution Hill (Women's Jail) - 11 KOTZE STREET
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOBILIZE, INSPIRE, ENGAGE AND INFORM
The Solution Sessions – a social salon, is a unique space within the AFROPUNK weekend’s programming that provides an opportunity to mobilize, inspire, engage, inform, and to rally some of our brightest around the importance of civic participation, diverse thinking, and encouraging attendees to envision themselves making a difference & supporting social innovations.
These curated talks feature dynamic orators & personalities addressing audiences on a myriad of topics, issues, and concepts that are solution based. AFROPUNK will provide a unique opportunity where panelists, moderators, and facilitators are not talking at audiences, but rather a community dialogue where collectively #WETHEPEOPLE come up with solutions to the problems laid out by the moderators and panelists.
