Following Africa Day last spring, we are once again highlighting this diverse and dynamic continent, this time in collaboration with MO*Magazine.

Whether it's about the solutions to global warming that are being developed, innovations in higher education and in the arts, or the exponentially growing entrepreneurship among its large young population and the immense African market ... One thing is certain: this continent will undeniably have an increasing impact on a global scale.

On the occasion the special issue on Africa, continent of the future, published in the latest edition of their magazine MO*, journalists Elien Spillebeen and John Vandaele will discuss with several experts from the African diaspora in Belgium: artist Fatima-Zohra Ait El Maâti, engineer Oscar Yaw Asamoah, student president Eseosa Gevers and socio-cultural education worker Don Moussa Pandzou. Spoken word artist Ben Kamuntu will present his inspiring slam poetry.   

Fatima-Zohra Ait El Maâti is an artist, curator, programmer and founder of the artistic collective Imazi.Reine.

Oscar Yaw Asamoah is a software engineer and founder of the Youth Africa community platform YABs Network.

Eseosa Gevers is president of the African Students Association in Antwerp, AYO.

Don Moussa Pandzou is a youth and socio-cultural education worker, expert on decolonization and pan-Africanism.

Ben Kamuntu is a Brussels-based slam poet and peace activist from Goma. He is also one of the co-authors of the MO*file on Africa.
