Exile-Eritreans take matters into their own hands: 7. - 9. April 2017, Rote Fabrik Zurich
The Eritrean Diaspora Academy (EDA) is an empowering art project – a field laboratory. It all starts with our dream: What the Swiss State fails to make accessible to young Eritreans, becomes reality: A graduation with a Diploma.Dive into the atmosphere of this unique Institution – feel the euphoric ambience of theDiploma Celebration on Friday, listen to the prominent podium speakers during the lectureseries on Saturday or be part of the diverse seminars on Sunday.
Prior to this weekend 50 young Eritreans will have participated in an intensive education week and lived through a first prototype of the academy. From 7th-9th April then, they will get together with the audience and together create a study plan that will encourage them to stand the difficulties of the Eritrean Diaspora in the exile together.
The EDA wants to provide the means for an active communication in our society. It is built in the same way, that knowledge is: shared knowledge will sum up to collective intelligence during lectures series. On Sunday we will build on our results and constitute shared dreams.
It is the future students of the academy who will take matters into their own hands and createa basis, upon which they can build a self-determined future. Read More
What exactly does this programme do?? Because I am Eritrean living in Switzerland(Schaffhausen) and i am trying hard to integrate to the Switzerland’s culture,norm,and language. I hope you will introduce this in schafausen too, because it would change so many lives and I am sure we Eritreans are productive if the Switzerland’s government would back us up even a little bit. To victory!! Kind regards,
