PACCL Launches Summer Classes with Focus on Leadership
The Pan African Centre for Cultures and Languages (PACCL) has unveiled its 2025 Summer Classes Programme, a platform designed to foster intellectual growth, cultural engagement, and leadership development across the continent.
Open to students, professionals, and lifelong learners, the programme combines academic rigor with practical insights, delivered by leading scholars and practitioners with both global and Pan-African expertise.
The first session, “Introduction to Leadership,” will be held online on Friday, September 5, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. UTC. Conducted in English, the lesson aims to help participants:
Understand the distinction between leadership and management.
Explore the qualities and styles of effective leaders.
Reflect on their personal leadership potential and areas for growth.
The session will be facilitated by Dr. Lang Fafa Dampha, a seasoned academic and leader with a distinguished career spanning Africa and Europe. Dr. Dampha previously lectured at the University of Paris II, Panthéon-Assas, and the University of Paris 8, Saint-Denis, before serving as Executive Secretary of the African Academy of Languages (ACALAN) under the African Union from 2015 to 2025. He also led the African Union’s Centre for the Study and Research on Migration between 2021 and 2022.
Currently, Dr. Dampha is the Executive Director of PACCL and Managing Director of MadiKulaySano Trading and Services. Drawing on his extensive expertise in leadership, policy, languages, and Pan-African thought, he is expected to bring both theoretical depth and practical perspectives to the class.
The PACCL Summer Classes are part of the centre’s mission to nurture knowledge, cultural appreciation, and transformative leadership for Africa and the world.
