International Conference on Pan-Africanism and Global Solidarity (ICPAGS).
Advancing Pan-African Unity and Global Solidarity Through African Identity, Decolonisation and International Cooperation.
The International Conference on Pan-Africanism and Global Solidarity (ICPAGS) is scheduled for 25 November 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. Organised by the Thailand Society for Research and Development (TSRD), the conference will bring together researchers, academics, professionals and international participants to discuss African unity, Pan-Africanism, decolonisation, cultural identity and global solidarity. Key discussion areas include the historical roots of Pan-Africanism, the role of the African diaspora, economic cooperation among African countries and international relations. The conference listing also indicates a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual participation.
Historical Context: Pan-Africanism emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a movement advocating unity, freedom and equality for people of African descent worldwide. Influential figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, George Padmore and Kwame Nkrumah helped advance the movement’s vision of African liberation, self-determination and solidarity against colonialism and racial discrimination. Pan-African ideals contributed to Africa’s independence movements and the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, which became the African Union (AU) in 2002. Today, the movement continues to shape conversations about African integration, diaspora relations, reparatory justice and global cooperation.
