Cameroon Diaspora Dialogues
3pm-5pm, online
On September 23rd, in order to celebrate International Day of Peace, we will be hosting a #defyhatenow Diaspora Dialogues panel discussion. This event will be online only. The aim is to engage with the Cameroonian diaspora, shed light on the diverse perspectives within the community, and explore ways they can contribute to transforming and resolving conflicts.
This dialogue will be the first of a series of Cameroon Diaspora Dialogues, which we plan to organize on a quarterly basis. During these dialogues, we'll invite members of the global Cameroonian community to share insights from various corners of the world.
