With an eclectic blend of cinema, music, art and photography exhibitions, entrepreneurs and bloggers workshops and panel discussions the 12-day Indiafrica Festival 2013 began here Monday aiming to reach out to the youth of South Africa.
The festival will mark the completion of the ‘Indiafrica: A Shared Future’ programme’s second edition of competitions. With a Facebook community of over 206,000, the programme has seen over 5,000 young people from 36 African countries and India participate in its competitions.
Four teams each from Africa and India will compete for two grand prizes - all expenses paid trips for one African and one Indian winner to Davos in January 2014 during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting. An exhibition of the winning poster designs themed ‘What freedom means to you’ will be open May 17-24. The exhibition will also feature Gandhi-themed posters.
