Welcome to Broos Institute | Broos Institute

Broos Institute is an Amsterdam-based, mission driven nonprofit organization, that is introducing Afrocentric perspectives into the Eurocentric education system.

The institute is currently running the Africana Development Studies Program in collaboration with the Anton de Kom University of Suriname (AdeKUS) and the Kwame Nkruma University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. We are the first educational foundation in the Netherlands to launch such a program in which the African diaspora takes centerstage.

More tertiary level programs and educational initiatives with an Afrocentric perspective are set to be launched, in collaboration with other international universities.

Broos Institute is named after Suriname’s venerated Maroon leader Broos (Babel), the only anti-slavery freedom fighter from Suriname of whom a picture exists.
