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.

Mawazo Ideas Exchange: African in the Ivory
In the middle of a global pandemic, why are life-saving medicines being hoarded in richer countries? Science has an equity problem that needs our urgent attention. On Africa Day, Tuesday, May 25th, the Mawazo Ideas Exchange joined Falling Walls Engage Hub Kenya to hear from African scientists, innovators, and storytellers as we explored the persistent inequalities limiting who can do science - and who gets to benefit from its discoveries.
