A three-year regional programme for East/ West Africa and the UK. It aims to explore notions of culture and identity to generate fresh ideas and create new understandings between individuals and communities in Africa and the UK. It will focus on current identities and future possibilities, enabling people in Africa and the UK to explore relationships, trace journeys in the past and understand them from new perspectives.

The projects offer an opportunity to reflect on two anniversaries namely; two hundred years ago Parliament in Britain passed the Act to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire (the start of a long road to abolition) and forty years of British Council’s work in Cameroon.
