500th YEAR ANNIVERSARY
In 2022, Oromia marked the landmark 500th anniversary of the 1522 Gadaa System renewal. To mark this one in a generation historical occasion, the Gadaa Renaissance conducted a year-long series of programs and projects. These programs highlighted the role of Gadaa in the social, cultural, spiritual, economic, environmental, and political spheres of the Oromo nation as well as what Gadaa can contribute to humanity at large in the 21st century.
One of the highlights of this commemoration has been the month-long worldwide celebrations conducted by the Gadaa Renaissance during November 2022.
