Experience African Art Through Events That Celebrate African Heritage
The Africans in the World Cultural Club also organizes events that celebrate African art and culture. For example, in 2018 it organized its inaugural African Art Gallery event, which showcased African art, music, and food. More recently, it organized another event celebrating African heritage in its many forms. Students had the opportunity to enjoy and learn more about Cameroonian fashion, Ghanaian dance, Zimbabwean marriage culture, and more!
These events help engage the diverse community of international students in Italy at JCU, as well as raise awareness about African art and culture. Whether you want to celebrate your culture or learn more about the African diaspora, these events are not to be missed.

Organizing Important Discussions About Colorism and Gender Roles
While organizing fun events focused on dance, great art, and terrific food is an important part of the work that the Africans in the World Cultural Club do, so too is raising awareness about important issues and fighting injustice. The Africans in the World Cultural Club is here to make a difference, which it has been accomplishing through roundtable discussions and other events. In the past, it was worked on breaking down and debunking harmful stereotypes still affecting people of color today. It has also participated in a Global virtual summit on sustainability hosted by Hamad Bin Khalifa University, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and the Green Institute of Nigeria. Whether speaking out about injustice, fostering discussion, or raising awareness, the Africans in the World Cultural Club is here to help others and make a real difference.
Whether you want to affect positive change, celebrate your culture and heritage, meet other students, or help plan important events, there are many reasons why you might want to join JCU’s Africans in the World Cultural Club. Because whether it’s through the discussions and movie festival is held during Black History Month, or the Afrobeats events it organizes, the Africans in the World Cultural Club is an important part of our school’s community.
