Community Projects
Keeping our roots alive
We develop and support a variety of community-led initiatives, campaigns and events, with a focus on creating diverse opportunities to learn and experience West African languages, arts & culture. This is the Not-for-profit arm of our organisation which means every profit generated is re-invested back into the business so we can continue to work on our ground-breaking initiatives and projects.
African-themed Workshops
We offer a range of African-themed workshops for schools, workplaces, community groups and events. Our practitioners are the best in their field – fully trained, CRB checked and insured. We can run our workshops in person or virtually.
