Members of the Pan African Writers Association (PAWA) are participating in the 2026 African Languages Conference in Accra. The event began on February 21, and will end on February 28, 2026, as part of African Languages Week.

The two-day hybrid event, hosted at the ISSER Conference Hall at the University of Ghana (UG), is organised by African Languages Inc.

The conference aims to promote language justice, cultural preservation, and digital rights across Africa and the diaspora.

This year’s theme, “Language Justice: African Languages for Social and Economic Development,” brings together writers, scholars, policymakers, educators, technologists, and community leaders.

The discussions focus on advancing the use of African languages in education, governance, economic planning, and digital innovation.

PAWA members are actively engaging in sessions that explore the role of indigenous languages in shaping inclusive societies and fostering economic and cultural growth, underscoring the importance of preserving Africa’s rich linguistic heritage.
