**Mali, sitting at the dry heart of northwest Africa, is a place of legend**. For centuries it has captured imaginations around the world, thanks to the ancient city of Timbuktu, a place which came to define mystery and remoteness. Yet for all its fame, Mali itself remains one of the world’s least understood destinations. Though it has faced a complex history and many political challenges, Mali rewards those who seek it out with unforgettable sights: the world’s largest adobe mosque, mud-brick villages that rise organically from the earth, and the life-giving waters of the Niger River that wind through desert and savannah alike. For centuries, Mali was a crossroads of wealth and ideas, the **center of some of Africa’s most powerful empires**. The great trans-Saharan trade routes passed through its territory, carrying salt, gold and knowledge from West Africa to North Africa, and on to the wider world. Cities like Timbuktu, Djenné, and Gao were renowned for their scholarship and riches. Today, visitors find a country where history, tradition and creativity are woven into the daily lives of its diverse communities – from the Tuareg of the Sahara, the Bozo fishermen along the river, and the Fulani herders of the plains, to the Bambara (also known as Bamana), Mali’s largest ethnic group. **The Bambara are central to Mali’s cultural identity**. Their masked dances, bursting with color and movement, are highlights of local festivals, combining artistry, spirituality and storytelling in unforgettable ways. Their traditions of woodcarving, music and agriculture have spread across the country, and their craft of *bogolan*, or mud cloth, has inspired designers and artists far beyond the country’s borders. Our journey begins in the capital of Bamako, with its chaotic traffic, rhythmic street drummers and busy markets and riverside ports. Though thoroughly modern, Bamako has not lost touch with its roots. Artisan traditions are alive and well in its neighbourhoods, from instrument making to mask carving and textile production. From Bamako, we’ll head north into the Ségou region, where the **Niger flows wide and fertile**. Just beyond the modern trade hub of Ségou, known for its pottery and textile workshops, lies Ségou-Koro, the ancestral capital of the Bambara kingdom. Founded in the 17th century, Ségou-Koro was an important center of power and culture. Today, wandering the streets of this quiet village, passing mudbrick houses, ancient tombs and sacred sites, time seems to stand still. Further east, the town of San is a close-knit community featuring a striking mud-brick mosque, built in the distinctive Sudano-Sahelian style, and lively weekly markets that attract traders, farmers and artisans from surrounding villages. Here, the traditions of the Bambara are everywhere – in the finely carved masks, the many artisans crafting mud cloth, the dances that thrill the crowds at cultural events. With its rich traditions and fascinating history, Mali offers but an **extraordinary adventure into the heart of West Africa**, revealing the remnants of a Sub-Saharan past and a present steeped in creativity. **Let’s go!** **Day 1: Arrival in Bamako** Upon arrival, meet the team, short rest and drive to the Niger River to meet the sand fishermen and observe their traditional work. Enjoy a beautiful sunset before continuing to your hotel. Overnight in Bamako. **Day 2: Bamako – Ségou** After breakfast, departure for Ségou. On the way, stop at Ségou Koro, a historic Bambara village. Visit its remarkable mud architecture, including traditional mosques, the king’s tomb, the village chief’s residence, and the palace with seven vestibules in Sudanese style. Continue to Ségou for lunch. After check-in at a hotel with a view of the Niger River, visit a Bambara village known for gourd farming and artistic decoration using fire techniques. In the evening, enjoy a boat ride on the Niger River at sunset. Overnight in Ségou. **Day 3: Ségou Exploration** After breakfast, visit the Domo mud workshop and learn traditional mud construction techniques. Continue to the women’s craft center to discover cotton weaving. Visit colonial buildings, a traditional cabaret to observe how local millet beer is made, and the Ségou Cathedral. Overnight in Ségou. **Day 4: Ségou – Koulikoro** After breakfast, drive to Koulikoro. Arrival around lunchtime and lunch on site. In the afternoon, visit the sacred “Camels Rock,” a historic site used for sacrifices, as well as the port and the rock mosque. Overnight in Koulikoro. **Day 5: Koulikoro – Sibi – Bamako** After breakfast, drive to Sibi. Arrival around lunchtime followed by lunch. Visit a Manding village of local farmers and explore impressive natural rock formations along the way. Discover the famous natural arch. Return to Bamako in the evening for overnight. **Day 6: Bamako City Tour** Full-day city tour of Bamako, including visits to the Grand Market, Point G hill for a panoramic view of the capital, the fetish market, the craft market, the recycling market, the Cathedral, the Independence Monument, and the Peace Monument. **Day 7: Departure** Last souvenir shopping and transfer to airport. Bye, bye Mali x. **Activities:** Sightseeing, short hiking, boating. **Rooms & meals:** Hotels – single rooms. Basic facilities ahead! Restaurant meals not included. **Cost: EUR 1750 + flight approx.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.
