          International guidelines

​

The General Act of the Berlin Conference

​

In 1884, the Berlin Conference was convened to discuss African colonization, with the aim of setting up international guidelines for making claims to African land to avoid conflict between European powers.

​

With the common set of rules arising from Bismarck's negotiations in Berlin, the European powers could undertake their quest for Livingstone's “three C's” – Commerce, Christianity, and Civilisation – much more vigorously (Southall 2009:5).

HISTORY

At the root of “a seat at the table” is the assumption that being present where decisions are being made means that the table itself or the room the table is situated in is somehow separate from the system that makes accessing the table impossible, to begin with.

-Solange Knowles

​

Read the seating plan and memorize it is important to understand in order for your shifts to be sucessful.

Good luck Point man, when you return tell us your name.
