The Brussels Office of the Baha'i International Community (BIC) hosted a series of informal roundtable discussions over the last year to explore how the Africa-Europe partnership can become a source of wellbeing for both continents. Several civil society organizations and academics joined the Office to share their thoughts in an open and reflective conversation that sought to delve into the underlying dynamics of the partnership. The aim was for the discussions to serve as a sounding board for participants to learn from each other and to reflect on their work, as well as to contribute to policy conversations on how to shape the partnership. Some of the points that emerged from these sessions are summarized in the document attached here.
