The TOAfrica Summer School offers Master’s students and professionals an introductory framework to the African continent with particular attention to the Sub-Saharan regions, that in recent years have undergone impressive changes: demographic and economic growth, fast urbanization, internal and external mobility, the development of digital technologies, artistic creativity, social, cultural and religious transformations, but also conflicts and environmental, health and political crises. A new landscape which has repositioned the continent in the global perspective, generating interest in international observers and investors.
The program, entirely offered in English, is organized by the Africanistic section of the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society (CPS Africa) of the University of Turin, in partnership with with Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda), one of the most renowned academic institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, the Summer School profits from the collaboration with the Torino World Affairs Institute (Torino, Italy), the Nordic Africa Institute (Uppsala, Sweden), the Consorzio delle Ong Piemontesi (Torino, Italy), the Consorzio delle Residenze Reali Sabaude (Venaria Reale, Italy), and the Chaire Diasporas Africaines (Bordeaux, France).
