Non-African Descent Fellows:
What is Our Role?
In this session, ADES Fellows who are not of African ancestry will convene to discuss how we answer the ADES call to action in our collective and individual work. We will go over details of our program in Ghana, particularly those that involve differentiated experiences for African-ancestry and non-African-ancestry Fellows, and work to articulate our mission and intention in a way that can translate into a more meaningful experience that leads to future action.
Please register for both sessions listed below:
