Second-generation African diasporans in the UK represent a significant and rapidly growing demographic. They serve as essential links, connecting the UK to various African countries and identities, and contributing to the cultural, economic, and political enrichment of communities across borders. They are vocal advocates for global justice and humanitarian values. Yet, the role of second-generation diasporans in the UK and Africa, especially in humanitarian response, is often overlooked in academic discussions, the development sector, and media coverage. This webinar discusses this oversight by delving into the critical role played by generation 1.5 and  second-generation African diaspora in humanitarian action.
