QUESTIONS
YOU ASK.
WE ANSWER.
Afro Talent Lab ’26 is a one-month practical education bootcamp designed around real skills, real people and real change. Participants enter a chosen world and select a practical learning pathway within it.
The programme runs for one month, from 11th November to 12th December 2026.
Afro Talent Lab currently presents 13 learning pathways across the eight Worlds. The Worlds are the broader creative, commercial and technological environments; the pathways are the specific programmes participants can choose.
Tier 1 is Classes Only. Tier 2 includes Classes + Workspace + 6-Month Consultation.
Not necessarily. The goal is practical education and development. Your willingness to learn, participate and build matters more than having a perfect starting point.
Your application is centred around a primary learning pathway. Where a pathway contains sections or components, the relevant fee structure is shown on the programme page.
Registration is available through the Afro Talent Lab registration page.
