OUR INITIATIVES
The Nigerian Association in Uppsala organizes both indoor and outdoor activities during the summer period, where members and non-members can enjoy various activities such as football, chess, and local draft games. These activities allow individuals to relax and recharge, as summer is an ideal time to explore new places, try new things, and create lasting memories with friends and family. Whether relaxing or being active, our summer events offer endless opportunities for enjoyment and making the most of the warm weather.
Annual Lecture and Cultural Night
Every October or November, the Nigerian Association in Uppsala hosts its Annual Lecture and Cultural Night.
The lecture encourages lively discussions on topics that matter to our community, followed by cultural events such as exhibitions and performances. Attendees get to experience the richness of Nigeria’s cultural heritage and diversity, gaining a deeper understanding of the Nigerian people.
