Vodoo cult & human trafficking
Thu, 25.4.2019, 19:00
Thousand of women from Nigeria emigrate in hope of a better future;
in the end they sell their bodies against their will on the streets of Europe.
Stronger than the financial debt is the psychological guilt from swearing an oath on their ancestors.
This evening shows how Africans themselves are fighting against human trafficking.

My city belongs to me?
Tue, 30.4.2019, 18:00
How differently do women and men from migrant groups and associations
perceive their participation in the public space?
How visible are they in the city life?
Public space as place of social and political participation plays an important role
in the integration and emancipation especially for migrant women.
In the framework of a community conference, representatives from politics, media, education and culture
listen to members of migrant groups and associations and learn more about their concerns.
The goal is to mediate between migrant groups and multipliers and to provide a platform for exchange and networking.

Nigeria: the future in the hands of the youth
Mon, 6.5.2019, 19:00
In Nigeria – often called giant of Africa – more than 60 % of the population is younger than 25 years,
which provides huge chances but also big challenges.
There are neither jobs nor perspective for the mass of young people in the country.
The ideas which the youth develops to survive on a daily basis, is the focus of the talk.
We hear directly from the West Africa journalist Katrin Gänsler, which role start-ups, media, migration
and the film industry “Nollywood” play in this equation.

Hate Speech - the role of the internet in Kenya
Tue, 21.5.2019, 19:00
Hate speech is the use of threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior, or display
of any written or published material which intends to stir up hatred against a group of persons
by reference to color, race, nationality or ethnic background.
The different ethnic groups in Kenya have been used by politicians
to create a divide for personal gain which breeds tribalism.
The violence in 20072008 during the elections brought about the realization
of the impact of hate speech to the nation and due to this,
measures were put in place to curb the hate speech vice.
Jacinta Mwende will give us an understanding of these dynamics in her country of origin
and explain the role of the internet in Kenya.

Place: Afro-Asian Institute, Clubraum

Papa á la Huancaina and arroz con pollo
Thu, 6.6.2019, 18:00 - 21:00
The diversity of the Peruvian kitchen with the variety of traditional dishes is impressive.
It emerged from the fusion of the traditional indigenous kitchen of Peru with the Spanish,
influenced by culinary traces from the Atlantic coast in Africa through slavery.
Later French, Chinese, Japanese and Italian influences got integrated.
This is how the Peruvian cuisine unifies flavors of four different continents in one country.
We are going to get convinced by this culinary richness during cooking and eating together.
