"Getting involved" - Our Future, Africa-Europe Dialogues

Following a historic New Africa-France Summit (NSAF), unprecedented in its format, international impact, and the perspectives it brought to light, the challenge was not to let these promising exchanges fade away, but rather to encourage them and amplify their impact on both continents. Initiated in 2022 by the French Institute, the "Our Future: Africa-Europe Dialogues" Regional Forums constitute a first element of response. This unique series of meetings organized on the African continent brings together figures from civil societies in Africa and Europe to debate horizontally and freely the major societal issues facing our two continents.

The main protagonists of these forums, young people from both continents were able to demonstrate their commitment during a dedicated forum, held in Yaoundé from December 1 to 3, 2022. Exploring all the modalities of engagement in terms of gender equality, defense of fundamental rights or the environment; this forum gave the floor to personalities fully invested in their territory and in favor of a healthy and peaceful Africa-Europe relationship. Coming from Cameroon, Gabon or France, they will be able to share with you the meaning of their commitment.
