Our Programs & Events are designed to bring the Batswana community in Victoria together — to connect, learn, celebrate, and support one another.
Through a combination of cultural celebrations, professional development Masterclasses, storytelling platforms, and community-building activities, BAVA creates spaces where every Motswana can feel at home, grow, and thrive.
Here is how we bring our mission to life:
Empowering the community through shared knowledge
Our flagship Masterclass platform where Batswana professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives share valuable skills, life lessons and industry experience.
Designed to inspire growth, spark connection, and uplift the community through practical, real-world insights.
Celebrating the excellence of our people
A storytelling program dedicated to shining a light on Batswana making an impact in Victoria.
From local businesses and creatives to community leaders and high-achieving students — Spotlight honours our people and promotes their achievements to the wider community.
Honouring our heritage and national pride
Our annual Botswana Independence celebrations bring the entire community together to honour our culture, history and national identity.
Boipuso is one of BAVA’s biggest and most vibrant cultural events — a day filled with food, music, storytelling, performances and celebration.
Building connection through shared experiences
Throughout the year, we host events that bring Batswana together in meaningful ways — from social gatherings to community meet-ups, information sessions, sports days, and networking events.
These events strengthen unity, belonging, and cultural identity.
