…says Culture is Africa’s new currency.
Africa’s premier cultural storytelling and tourism platform, Goge Africa, has announced the launch of a cultural dialogue and diplomacy series to be held July 2, 2026 at the NIIA, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The bold new initiative by Goge Africa in partnership with the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) and the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC) is designed to reposition African heritage not just as history, but as a dynamic driver of modern diplomacy, regional integration, and economic prosperity.
Under the theme, “Eyo, Culture & Soft Power: Driving Diplomacy, Integration and Economic Growth,” the dialogue moves beyond traditional panel discussions. It brings together a vibrant mix of policymakers, cultural icons, business leaders, academics, and creatives to explore how Africa’s unique cultural assets can unlock massive economic value and expand its global influence.
For over two decades, Goge Africa has been the heartbeat of continental storytelling, capturing the diverse traditions that define us. With this new series, they are stepping from the screen to the strategy room, creating an energetic ecosystem where cultural wealth meets economic opportunity.
