Goge Africa Launches Cultural Diplomacy Series in Lagos

Goge Africa (Pan-African tourism and cultural programme)

Goge Africa, the continent’s leading cultural storytelling and tourism platform, has launched the Goge Africa Cultural Dialogue and Diplomacy Series.

The new initiative repositions African heritage not merely as history, but as a driving force behind modern diplomacy, regional integration, and economic growth.

The inaugural event will take place on 2 July 2026 at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) on Victoria Island, Lagos. Hosted in partnership with the NIIA and the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC), the event’s theme is: “Eyo, Culture and Soft Power: Driving Diplomacy, Integration and Economic Growth.”

Moving beyond standard panel discussions, the dialogue will bring together policymakers, cultural icons, business leaders, academics, and creatives to explore how Africa’s cultural assets can unlock economic value and expand its global influence.

For over two decades, Goge Africa has documented the continent’s diverse traditions for television. With this new series, the platform is moving from storytelling to strategy — establishing an ecosystem where cultural wealth aligns with economic opportunity.

“Culture is Africa’s ultimate superpower. It’s how we tell our stories, shape our identity, and command global attention,” said Ambassador Isaac-Moses, CEO and Co-Founder, Goge Africa.

“This dialogue isn’t just about looking back at where we come from. It’s about looking forward. We’re positioning our heritage as a catalyst for real investment, fresh innovation, and cross-border collaboration.”
