Puerta de África and Casa África announce the launch of the 2022 Social Innovation Lab to bridge and train African, Afrodescent and European emerging leaders. We are committed to building a community of social entrepreneurs and activists driven by the commitment to change the realities of their communities, learn to relate as equals and accelerate social change.

The 2021-2022 Social Innovation Lab will bring together 12 exceptional, emerging African, Afrodescent and Spanish young leaders from civil society and private sector, who are tackling most pressing challenges.
