This session focuses on the African continent, exploring how different societies engage with regeneration in cultural and civic terms. From the revival of indigenous knowledge systems to African youth movements and futurist visions, this session highlights the collective momentum toward a renewed and resilient Africa.

How can traditional knowledge from across Africa inform sustainable futures?

What intergenerational practices are being revived or reimagined in African societies to strengthen civic participation and community resilience?

How are artists, educators, and youth forging new paths for cultural and technological innovation rooted in African contexts?

Both French and English proposals (250-300 words) are welcome.

Note: This session expands the conversation from session 21602 "Regeneration in Morocco: Memory, Identity, & Innovation"
