The BCA Europe Convention 2027 brings together 300 to 500 members of the Bali Nyonga community from across Europe and beyond for four days, from 29 July to 1 August 2027, at De Vere Wokefield Estate near Reading, England. Hosted by BCDA-UK for BCA Europe, the convention puts Bali Nyonga culture and the Mungaka language at the centre of every day, from the Njang on Thursday night to the Official Opening, the dance competition and the Gala. Under the theme “One weekend. One roof. One Bali.”, every event, bed and meal is on one estate, with a single Bali Pass that includes every meal. The convention is also the starting point for “Enabling our Bali Talent”, a programme helping skills, language and craft from Bali Nyonga reach new customers.
