African Renaissance is the concept that African people and nations shall overcome the current challenges confronting the continent and achieve cultural, scientific, and economic renewal.
Therefore, we signal African traits very much worthy of strengthening and continuation. Including aspects of interpersonal relations as "social inclusion, hospitality, and generous sharing", through attentive and perceptive listening to others. With social acceptance, not based on wealth, but on the basis of relationships to others. We support our global family, avoiding the extremes of dependency and paternalism.
