YFOCAR will be a three-day conference held from April 24th to the 26th at Yale University to discuss contemporary and historical aspects of the relationship between China and Africa.

YFOCAR will feature a full schedule of events including panels, keynote addresses, discussion seminars, debates, film screenings, and concerts. These events will seek to create an open dialogue to strengthen cross-cultural ties, encourage mutual understanding, and set the stage for long-standing respect between China and the African continent. To that end, we will bring leaders in political, economic and cultural fields to discuss a variety of topics including International Global Effects of the China-Africa Partnerships; Energy, Environment & Global Politics; Darfur & Other Crisis Regions; and Africans Living in China.

YFOCAR invites open-minded scholars, students, and young professionals who are interested in the discussion of China-Africa relations to come participate. Attendees will leave the conference with a more comprehensive understanding of Chinese and African issues and will be better equipped to contribute to the development and study of this important relationship.

The registration form for the conference is available on the YFOCAR website, www.yale.edu/yfocar. Attendees must complete their registration by April 5th at 5pm. We ask that students also provide a registration fee of $50 which should be paid via check mailed to the address provided on the website. Students will be responsible for their
transportation to and from Yale. YFOCAR will provide housing and two meals per day per attendee.
