Background

The All-Africa Ubuntu Association is an official organisation of students and employees of the University of Bern who come from Africa or have African roots. The organisation is committed to improving the representation and integration of this community at the University of Bern. All-Africa Ubuntu is based at the University of Bern. It is politically and denominationally independent. The association also aims to strengthen bilateral relations between the University of Bern and partner institutions on the African continent.

Through active participation in academic and socio-cultural life, the All-Africa Ubuntu Association promotes inclusion and visibility for its members. It organises educational and cultural events related to Africa, represents its members in university committees and institutional bodies, and actively supports the activities of Initiative Afrique.

The interim management team is made up of Philipa Birago Akuoko, Dr. Djouroukoro Diallo, Dr. Emamdeen Fohim, Jean Claude Makangara and Frank Mintah.
