history

AFRICAN VILLAGE, former Gladsaxe African Village was established in 2015, by a team of powerful women, all from the same family. Charlotte Kobli, the mother got an idea to organise a culinary event in Gladsaxe Municipality.

Sara Kobli, daughter then took the idea to a whole new level. She established an organization instead with a mission and vision, defined a set of activities and established partnerships with local instutions, various african communities and Embassies, in order to implement them.

Marie Candy and Danielle, gave a visual identity to the organization. And finally, Rachel and Ruth contributed with artistic performances.

Our first event - the African Village annual Festival - took place in August 2015. From that day forward, the organization became an incontestable platform for the promotion of the African culture, cultural exchange and integration.
