About us
Our programme spans two continents, bringing together diverse teams with deep cultural expertise and regional knowledge. The Africa-Europe Partnerships for Culture operates through three interconnected components, each rooted in its geographical focus while working collaboratively toward shared goals of cultural cooperation and artistic exchange.
Our distributed approach reflects the programme's commitment to genuine partnership. The Sub-Saharan Africa (Continental) and Southern Africa components are primarily managed from our Johannesburg office, with some Sub-Saharan Africa team members stationed in Paris to facilitate European partnerships. The West Africa component operates from Ouagadougou, ensuring direct engagement with the region's vibrant festival networks and cultural communities.
Each component maintains its own expertise and regional focus while contributing to the programme's overarching vision of transforming Africa-Europe cultural cooperation. Whether you're interested in continental mobility schemes, heritage narrative development, or festival internationalisation, our teams bring decades of experience working across African and European cultural landscapes.
Getting in touch is straightforward. Each component has dedicated contact points for enquiries, applications, and partnership discussions. For programme-wide information, reach out to any component team. For specific opportunities or regional expertise, connect directly with the relevant component. Navigate to individual component pages to access detailed team profiles and direct contact information for specific team members.
