Africa Lives On The BBC
BBC Nations and Regions
Activities for the BBC's Africa Season across the Nations
and Regions are taking many forms.
Three national and at least ten local
BBC radio stations are twinning with African radio stations.
This will include journalists swapping jobs and special
reports coming from Africa.
Many local radio stations are producing special programmes
to coincide with the Africa Season, reflecting their local African communities
and the connections they have with the continent.
A series of community events is being planned - ranging
from a waterside event celebrating local African culture in Bristol, to
a collaboration with arts organisations in Oslo which has a similar African
community to Newcastle.
There are also several major concerts in partnership with
Radio 3 during the summer - in Newcastle, Liverpool, Cardiff, Luton, London
and Cardiff.
