Mawazo Ideas Events: Building Platforms for Innovative Engagement

At Mawazo, we believe that ideas are the essence of creativity, the spark to innovation, and the call to research. This is why we invest in getting good ideas out into the public domain. To do this, we organise a variety of events under the Mawazo Ideas platform. These include, the Mawazo Ideas Night (MIN), a recurring public event that offers local researchers, scholars and other self-identifying nerds an informal and engaging platform to present their ideas to the public, and the Mawazo Ideas Exchange which gathers participants to deep dive into issues in their unique fields of practice.
