The Ghana based Youth Bridge Foundation and the Office of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President, in partnership with African Nova Scotian Affairs, the Black Educators Association and Dalhousie University’s Promoting Leadership in Health for African Nova Scotians present:

FINDING OUR ROOTS -  YEAR OF RETURN: OUR SANKOFA
A dialogue designed to stimulate a conversation about what ‘Connecting to Africa’ means for African Nova Scotians to look inward and to look outward as we build a better pathway for the future.

To mark the 400-year anniversary of the first enslaved Africans arriving in North America the call is to go back to your roots in 2019. 
Year of Return, Ghana 2019, is a project campaign targeting those living outside of Africa whose ancestors were once enslaved.
