Upcoming PfAL events
FLIA host Ubuntu Cafe twice a year. A celebration of African thought and culture it offers and ever changing programme for staff, students and partners to engage with Africa and each other.
The Futures Forum is a new PfAL initiative addressing innovation, leadership and sustainable futures that stands out for its collaborative and action-oriented elements. The event has given rise to Futures Network, a community of inter-generational leaders, young leaders and scholars who will lead intersectional policy and project interventions to global development challenges.
Thesis Bootcamp
Writing a Master’s dissertation can be an enriching and memorable experience but we know it can be difficult to get started, maintain momentum and stay motivated. The Dissertation Bootcamp is an opportunity to learn tips and strategies, receive feedback on your work so far and spend time dedicated developing your thesis. The Bootcamp is more relevant to postgraduate students who are in the early writing stages, or who have begun their research and would like to review their process so far and plan their next steps.
PfAL Connect is an exciting new initiative from the Programme for African Leadership aimed at fostering connection, amplifying opportunities and support between the LSE Africa alumni community and the PfAL alumni network with the current PfAL cohort.
PfAL host regular seminars and events examining the issues around leadership. For more information, or to find out how you can get involved, please contact the Programme Manager Tosin Adebisi at o.adabisi@lse.ac.uk
