A broad-based introduction to Africa, primarily through South Africa, and to Auroville will be
offered through presentations, discussions, interactive workshops and more. Interaction with South Africans and Africans, excursions to places like Table Mountain, Robben Island, townships, community projects, and cultural events will allow guest participants to get in

offer to each other and to share their rich experiences and aspirations.

"Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity."
Auroville, an emerging city on South India’s Coromandel Coast, with about 2000 residents from
40 countries, is internationally recognised as an ongoing experiment in human unity in diversity, and in sustainable living. On the basis of a broad evolutionary vision, new ways are constantly explored to meet the environmental, economic, cultural, social and spiritual needs of mankind
for the 21st century.Please visit Auroville’s comprehensive website at www.auroville.org for more details.
