7th Edition of the African Writers Conference Comes to Kigali

The annual African Writers Conference (AWC) returns for its 7th year. This annual event is a celebration of the rich literary heritage of Africa, where readers and writers from across the continent come together to ignite conversations about the unique aspects of African literature. This year’s theme is “The Role of African Children’s Literature in Shaping the Youth.”

For this 7th edition, Rwanda will host the AWC from October 22 to 27, 2024. We are thrilled to announce that WSA-Rwanda will proudly present this edition of the AWC, ensuring that participants not only engage in thought-provoking discussions but also have the opportunity to explore the breathtaking beauty of Kigali, Africa’s safest and cleanest city.

During the conference, participants will have the opportunity to explore Kigali. Participants can visit historical sites such as the Kigali Genocide Memorial, and experience the natural wonders of Nyandungu Ecotourism Park and Umusambi Village. There is also the breathtaking Fazenda Sengha located on Mount Kigali.

The 2024 edition of the AWC promises to leave you inspired, enlightened, and connected to African literature. Don’t miss the AWC. You can register by clicking here.
