Global leaders have called for a fair deal for Africa at the COP26 conference in Glasgow. This was the clarion call by the leaders, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, at the launch of the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) “State and Trends in Adaptation in Africa Report 2021 – How Adaptation Can Make Africa Safer, Greener and More Prosperous in a Warming World” (STA21).

The University of Nairobi’s Department of Linguistics, Languages and Literature, the Italian Embassy and the Italian cultural institute collaborated on a conference dubbed "From the Dark Wood to Paradise: Dante Alighieri at the University of Nairobi."

The initiative was part of the "Week of the Italian Language in the World" with the objective of introducing Dante Alighieri and his poetics to the students of the Faculty of Arts.

The University of Nairobi held its first ever International Students day themed, ‘Cultural developments and interactions.’

The international students day was  highly significant given that UoN is home to around 2,000 international students representing nationalities across the global most of which come from neighbouring countries like Somalia, Southern Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania.
