Beautiful Africa: Student Perspectives

Presented by the Chan Centre

Composed entirely of student presentations, Beautiful Africa is an evening inspired by the unique PechaKucha format. From the simple prompt which shares the name of the event, presenters have created presentations both personal and academic, showcasing what these words mean to them and the knowledge that they have.
