About this Event
The future isn't something we simply inherit. It's something we help create.
Join us at the African Music and Cultural Festival (AMCF) 2026 for an engaging panel discussion bringing together African and African-Australian voices to explore the ideas, perspectives and leadership shaping our collective future.
Drawing on experiences across student leadership, education, development and community engagement, our panellists will share what excites them about the future, the value of different ways of thinking and how individuals can turn ideas into meaningful change.
What we'll explore
- The future we imagine: What possibilities excite us most?
- Ideas worth hearing: Which perspectives deserve greater attention?
- Leadership and influence: How can we each contribute to meaningful change?
- Shaping what's next: What role can we all play in creating a better future?
Whether you're a student, emerging leader or simply curious about fresh perspectives, join us for a thought-provoking conversation that celebrates possibility and the power of our collective voices.
Panellists: Wanja Wohoro, Lushomo Chinganya and Dr Yasmin Hassen
