Columbia’s African Development Group presents their 2025 symposium, Africa’s Youth in the 21st Century: Empowerment, Innovation, and Cultural Sovereignty.
Africa’s youngest generation is stepping into its power and reshaping the continent’s political, economic, and cultural future. This symposium explores how youth can drive sustainable growth, reclaim cultural identity, challenge neocolonial structures, and expand access to education while advancing gender equity. Bringing together voices from the arts, business, policy, and social justice, the conference highlights real, actionable strategies for building a more self-reliant and globally influential Africa.
CU Sabor is Columbia’s University’s first ever established Latin Dance team. Sabor is an exclusively student-run dance team dedicated to celebrating Latin and Caribbean culture through dance, music and the arts. As a community, Sabor looks to create a safe space for students from underrepresented backgrounds to enjoy, explore, and express themselves through Latin dance traditions.
Each year, Sabor hosts a Fall Showcase, a two hour dance performance including styles and music from all over the Americas. Each piece is carefully designed by our talented student choreographers. The performance is held to raise funds for Sabor’s outreach program called RELEVE. RELEVE is a 2-day long immersion program that invites FGLI high school students from all around New York City to spend a weekend at Columbia University.
This year’s Fall Showcase’s theme is “Un Verano en Nueva York.” It hopes to celebrate all different forms of Latin identity by exploring the beauty and diversity of New York City. In choreographing pieces, students were asked to think about how cultural communities are formed in and by the city.
