African Roots Collective CIC is a not-for-profit cultural organisation dedicated to preserving African heritage and inspiring future generations.
Every initiative we deliver supports the preservation of African languages and the growth of young leaders. Through accessible training, community partnerships and transparent guidance, we aim to inspire creativity, spark innovation and connect people across cultures and continents.
Heritage & Identity
We honour the richness of African culture and the identities shaped by it.
We believe heritage is a foundation – one that strengthens self-esteem, deepens belonging and empowers people to understand their place in the world.
We champion African languages, traditions and stories as tools for learning, connection and transformation. Through our work, we help individuals, especially young people, embrace who they are and where they come from.
Creativity & Innovation
We see creativity as a powerful force for change.
Innovation is central to our mission, especially when it comes to preserving African languages in a digital age. We support bold ideas, emerging technologies and new forms of expression that bring culture to life in fresh and accessible ways.
From digital language tools to creative workshops and artist development, we encourage exploration, experimentation and forward-thinking solutions grounded in African knowledge and imagination.
Community & Collaboration
We believe culture grows stronger when shared.
Our work is built on partnership – connecting creators, educators, families, youth and community organisations. We foster collaboration across generations and continents, ensuring everyone has a voice in shaping our cultural future.
We are committed to building inclusive spaces where people feel supported, valued and connected to a collective purpose: celebrating African heritage and empowering the next generation.
African Roots Collective CIC is led by a dedicated team of Directors passionate about culture, community and positive change. Their leadership shapes our programmes, strengthens our partnerships and ensures that every project reflects our mission to uplift African heritage and empower young people.
