Progress for Urhobo people living in Europe.

Become a member Read the mandate

Wherever Urhobos settle, UPU has asked them to form a union. UPUE is that union for Europe: not a club of one country, but a continental body that keeps the culture living and the people looked after.

How the Forum serves

Culture, welfare and gatherings

Culture and language

Preserving Urhobo language, values and traditions among branches across Europe.

Welfare

A standing network when a family in Europe needs the union behind them.

Gatherings

Meetings, festivals and the calendar that holds the diaspora together.

The year of the union

A simple, steady calendar

UPUE does not exist only online. Members meet, learn and stand together on a known rhythm — the same whether you live in one European city or another.

Monthly assembly General meeting on the last Sunday of each month.
Bi-monthly meeting Virtual assembly on every other second Sunday, as set out in the Bye-laws.
Quarterly workshops Skills, culture and family sessions through the year.
Annual gathering The continental calendar — festival, awards and fundraising. Dates are announced to members first.
