Description by the organisers, Black Society Namibia and CommonGroundz:
“Namibia’s history still carries the scars of genocide, dispossession and fractured communities – traces left by the German colonial era. As young Namibians we are stepping forward to hold memory, build dialogue, and lead reconciliation.

Reflection & history, youth-led dialogue circles, a special poetry performance by @sonofthesoil, and an open donation moment to support our trip to the Swakopmund Genocide Museum.
This project is a collaboration between Black Society Namibia, Common Groundz (Germany), and the National Archives of Namibia.”
