Africa Lives

Africa Lives, web

We developed the website to accompany the BBC's on-air activity for Africa Lives - a season of programming during 2005 that highlighted and explored African life and culture. This was especially timely since that year saw the advent of the the G8 conference, the Commission For Africa and the 20th anniversary of Live Aid.

The site built on the already-established Radio 3 project Africa On Your Street site; it acted as a portal to relevant BBC and non-BBC content and housed its own content, which included...

My Africa

Photo-diaries, connecting directly with Africans across the continent.

African Directory

A wealth of recipes, holidays, record shops, charities and more.

What's On

Africa on the BBC: Details of BBC programmes that feature African content.

Africa 05

Information on the UK project celebrating African culture.

The project was a truly complex one and saw Somethin' Else liaise with departments right across the BBC. It demonstrated our ability to work outside existing structures and create content tailored to an often over-looked audience's needs.
