TAF Events on Zoom
TAF Botswana | Ubuntu, Our Culture & Traditions
4pm WAT | 5pm CAT | 6pm EAT

Join TAF Botswana for an insightful event, “Ubuntu: Our Culture and Traditions,” where we’ll explore the philosophy of Ubuntu and its powerful influence on our daily lives and communities. Be part of the conversation here.

Our theme for the month of November is
Ubuntu

This week, we explore the core principles of Ubuntu and their relevance in contemporary Africa. Ubuntu, with its focus on interconnectedness, communal responsibility and empathy, challenges individualistic approaches and highlights the importance of mutual care and shared dignity. We will also examine how Ubuntu can address Africa’s modern challenges. As the continent grapples with conflict, corruption, and environmental degradation, this philosophy offers a framework for ethical governance, unity and sustainable development.

This month's Policy Paper will focus on how Ubuntu can guide Africa toward greater unity and collective resilience. Africa can strengthen its institutions, advance inclusive governance and promote social cohesion by reaffirming Ubuntu as a guiding principle. Join us as we discuss how Ubuntu can be applied to modern-day issues and how it can help shape an Africa that thrives on mutual respect, collective responsibility and shared prosperity.
