This conference at Guildhall, Kingston upon Hull, will bring together community-based groups and individuals in the UK who have links with partners or an interest in West Africa. We are holding this conference in collaboration with Freetown Society and Hull City Council.
Hull City Council has a long standing link with Freetown in Sierra Leone which involves many of Hull’s schools, churches and community groups. This conference will be part of the Wilberforce 2007 celebrations around the abolition of slavery. We are also delighted that John Prescott MP has agreed to open the conference on Friday 26th October.
The purpose of the conference is:- To learn more about each other, to promote and develop community-based links between West Africa and the UK for mutual benefit § To explore slavery in today’s world, focusing on slavery in UK and West Africa.
