About us

Public diplomacy

Seeking dialogue and mutual understanding with the civil societies of African countries.

Within this framework, Casa África supports the creation of lasting Spanish-African relationships and networks of contacts at all levels. It also organises and supports meetings and forums that promote knowledge about Africa in Spain, giving priority to current issues on the African continent and to the participation of African representatives.  

Economic diplomacy

In the area of ​​economic diplomacy, Casa África works with Spanish professionals, companies and investors to share information about the opportunities offered by Africa. To fulfil this mission, Casa África organises and supports meetings and conferences on the current status of African economies and the business opportunities available in key sectors and geographical areas. Thus, it promotes the internationalisation of Spanish companies which are already active in Africa or have an interest in the continent, and promotes collaboration between public and private entities or individuals. It also promotes the Canary Islands as a business hub for Africa.

Cultural diplomacy

Casa África works to promote Africa’s immense wealth and cultural diversity and encourages cultural interactions between Spain and the countries of Africa. 
In order to facilitate meetings, identify synergies and implement projects, the institution supports, for example, exhibitions of contemporary African artists, exchanges between professionals from the creative sectors, and African participation in Spanish festivals and other cultural events.

Digital diplomacy

Casa África has always worked to develop its use of information technology to transcend geographical barriers. Casa África’s digital diplomacy takes advantage of the possibilities offered by the internet and social networks to create greater connection and dialogue between African and Spanish publics. Digital diplomacy is implemented across the whole scope of actions carried out by Casa África, as well as in parallel projects which generate value and support its objectives.
