Even today we pinch ourselves to make sure it’s true. We really met each other. Met young people from the Republic of Togo. We met in Schwerin and on the Atlantic. Looking for what we have in common, for what connects us. A successful search as was often the case in previous years; ten of which were in France another in Russia and three in Mongolia. Forget everything that separates you, that makes you different. Be consistent – listen.
Young people from west African Togo and from Mecklenburg West-Pomerania met for a fortnight in the youth hostel in Flessenow on the banks of the lake in Schwerin in the summer of 2017. The contents and activities were theatre, working with film, visual arts, music and trips. Tears flowed with the goodbyes. In between closeness, time, sympathy, depth. Then in October the return visit in the Gulf of Guinea. Off again in 2019 accompanied by an international conference where people from America, Asia, Africa and Europe took part. That was not bad – the region will get a bit more attention world wide, that is outside M-V. We have promised to return to Lomé when the first students graduates from the university. Then we will initiate a bi-national project. We are currently working on further youth culture projects with partners and interested institutions in Benin and Uganda.
