Projects in Germany
This page features the latest news about the projects implemented by the German section of AfricAvenir. Throughout 2010, we will mainly be working on |+| “50 years of African In-dependences – a (self) critical evaluation”. With this focus, we intend to commemorate two anniversaries: 50 years of African In-Dependences as well as the 125th Anniversary of the so-called Congo-Conference, initiated by Bismarck in Berlin, which formalised Europe’s colonisation of Africa. To this end, we will organise lectures and workshops, film screenings, a theater play and edit a publication.
