The University's Warwick in Africa programme, under the auspices of the Warwick Africa Hub, invites you to join what we are sure will be an interesting and thought-provoking conversation between Dipo and Milton Nkosi, a renowned South African journalist and former BBC Africa Bureau Analyst and Correspondent.

Student volunteers and teaching staff at our partner schools will be participating in this event as an integral part of the training and preparation for school placements this summer. Dipo Faloyin wrote about ‘the birth of white saviour imagery or how not to be a white saviour while still making a difference’ in a chapter of his recent book ‘Africa is not a Country’,

This event is open to anyone and all attendees will be warmly encouraged to take part in a Q&A session to conclude the event.
