Join ACCO for the second yearly debate! After a very successful first edition, ACCO is happy to welcome you again to debate new topics. This is a space to share your opinion and broaden your horizons to new perspectives on modern issues. The debate will be guided by three main questions that you can find in the sign-up form.

This month, the African Studies Center has organized the viewing of "Le spectre de Boko Haram", directed by Cyrielle Raingou (2023). The documentary will be in French and Hausa, with English subtitles. It unfolds in Kolofata, a village in the far north of Cameroon. The village is under permanent military protection that is intended to prevent the murderous incursions of Boko Haram from neighbouring Nigeria. Behind the peaceful pastoral appearance, the "spectre" of terrorism is always present. The filmmaker follows a group of children between 8 and 11 years old who have experienced terrible things but try to create a future for themselves.

The Mugusa members who are studying in Tanzania will pay a visit to the National Museum and House of Culture. We will go on an exciting exploration of the museum and admire the interesting exhibits to learn more about the history and culture of Tanzania

Join study associations MOST and Mugusa in a discussion about Russian influence in Africa, where we will try to offer a platform where all these considerations and issues can be taken into account. As the topic is very broad and the number of countries involved is large, a discussion format can offer space for considerations and opinions that people from various (academic) backgrounds bring with them and might give us a better understanding at the end of the event about the complexities of the topic!
