Africa’s development landscape is undergoing a radical shift as global South powers redefine longstanding patterns of influence. At the forefront stands China, a transformative force whose trade and investment in Africa have soared more than tenfold in the past decade. Propelled by its "Going Global" strategy, China’s pursuit of Africa’s rich resources—minerals, oil, and more—has fueled this ascent. 

Yet its role reaches far beyond economics, with growing involvement in peacekeeping, infrastructure, and security—driven by political, economic, and security imperatives—signaling a bold new chapter in Africa’s geopolitical narrative.

Built on decades of historical ties and a shared developing-world identity, this partnership is accelerating at breakneck speed, raising urgent questions: How is China’s rise reshaping African economies, governance, and societies? What strategies are African leaders, businesses, and global players adopting in response?

This course offers a dynamic, multidisciplinary framework to address these and other questions, blending historical context, economic trends, and political analysis to illuminate China’s expanding footprint in Africa.

Course Objectives

Participants will pierce through the "Win-Win" rhetoric of China-Africa relations, critically evaluating its promises, realities, and far-reaching consequences. Through historical insights, economic scrutiny, and political perspectives, the course uncovers the strategies driving China’s foreign policy and their profound impact on Africa’s future.

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this 8-week journey, participants will be able to:
Trace the historical arc of China-Africa relations and its pivotal moments.
Dissect the economic and political forces shaping this partnership.
Assess the opportunities and risks China’s presence poses for African progress.
Pinpoint key areas of collaboration, from trade and infrastructure to security.
Judge whether China’s development model holds lessons for African nations.

Who Should Take This Course

This course is crafted for professionals, scholars, and students eager to unravel the nexus of international relations, Chinese foreign policy, and African development. Whether you’re an analyst charting China’s global rise, a policymaker shaping Africa’s path forward, or a geopolitics enthusiast, this course arms you with sharp insights and practical tools to master this evolving landscape.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION

Marilia Savvides founded The Plot Agency in 2024. She began her career in publishing at Peters Fraser and Dunlop, where she spent eight years, first as International Rights Agent, and later as Literary Agent, building her own list of authors. In 2019, she joined 42MP, where she worked as Literary Agent for four years, helping to launch and set up the Book Division.

She is particularly interested in fiction that is beautifully written and cleverly constructed, but still accessible to a wide readership. She is often drawn to darker tales that weave together excellent characters and an impossible-to-put-down story, from immersive book club novels with a splash of suspense, crime and thrillers, accessible horror, and speculative, genre-bending or dystopian stories. She also adores smart, witty contemporary rom-com in the style of Emily Henry.

In the thriller, crime and mystery space she is interested in most areas, except military thrillers and organised crime/ mafia / mob stories. Big hooks and clever set ups are a big bonus! She adores Karin Slaughter (especially her standalone novels) and Gillian Flynn.
In the book club / reading group space, she’s particularly drawn to fiction in the vein of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng, and absolutely fell in love with Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, both for the incredible voice, and the exquisite use of structure and time. Complicated family dynamics, empathetic and smart approaches to controversial issues, stand out protagonists (like Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry or Bernadette in Where D’You Go Bernadette), long buried secrets, complicity, the road to justice, and impossible decisions, are all themes she finds herself drawn to.

In the horror space, she’s a sucker for amazing female-centric stories in the vein of Yellowjackets, and the kind of contemporary, accessible horror that Stephen King always nails. She wants to get lost in a world that feels within reach of ours. In the speculative and dystopian spaces, she’s interested in genius ideas that set up big questions or reflect the most broken (and sometimes hidden) parts of society. She loves Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and also adored The Leftovers, Station Eleven, Wanderers, and The Power. The what-ifs of life and fiction fascinate her. In the grounded sci-fi space, she’d love to find a smart, immersive, and accessible story like The Martian.

She doesn’t represent fantasy or romantasy. In regards to sci-fi, unless it’s very grounded and has crossover potential to a mainstream audience, it’s not for her.

In the romance space, she’s particularly drawn to smart, complex and witty characters, where the chemistry is jumping off the page. She loves contemporary settings and all the tropes, though the voice and characters must come first to make the reading experience fully immersive. She wants to be cackling, and rooting for the characters with all her heart.

She is very hands-on editorially, and loves working with her authors to shape their manuscripts, and brainstorm ideas. The best part of the job is discovering debut authors, and helping them find a home for their books.

Marilia would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single Word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Marilia is kindly offering one free session for low income/underrepresented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event.

At HFX Training, we are passionate about business simulations because they bring learning to life through hands-on experience. This Level 1 Certification Program is the first step in our Instructor Training Certification Pathway, equipping you to confidently use the Healthcare Hero simulation in your teaching environment.

In this program, you will experience the simulation as a student, navigating its complexities and dynamics. Upon successfully completing Level 1, you’ll be ready to advance to Level 2 Training, where you will deepen your expertise in simulation facilitation and administration.

The program is cohort-based, and the timetable is coordinated in advance through discussions with the HFX team to ensure maximum participation. For more information on the program structure, instructional materials, and certification requirements, please read on.

What to Expect:
The Healthcare Hero simulation places you in charge of a fictional hospital. Over eight simulation rounds - each representing one quarter of business operations - you will make strategic decisions to optimize patient care while managing staffing, capacity, quality, and finances.
Throughout the simulation, you’ll navigate challenges like healthcare and economic crises, all while balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders. Your ultimate goal is to outperform competing hospitals managed by other participants in the program.

Demonstrate Mastery: Show a comprehensive understanding of the simulation’s dynamics, decision-making processes, and strategies during practice and live rounds.
Engage in Reflection: Actively participate in debrief sessions, assess your performance, and identify strategies for improvement.

This certification ensures you are equipped to facilitate this complex simulation with confidence. Auditing the course is an option, but participants who choose to audit will not receive certification.


Program Format

The Scenario Manual: Your guide to understanding the game.

Try to submit decisions for the first practice round using the simulation portal at www.simulationportal.com.


Phase 2: Play

We run two practice rounds over the first 2 hours of the zoom call. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the platform and decision-making process, and think through what your strategy might be in the live game.
The simulation resets ("zeroed") after the practice rounds.
A brief session will clarify lessons learned and expectations for the live rounds.
Over eight rounds, you’ll compete against other participants while refining your strategic decisions.


Phase 3: Feedback

Reflect on your performance during a structured debrief, including:
Strengths and areas for improvement.
Insights into competitors’ strategies.
