Our focus is on promoting community development and combating anti-black racism, while representing African culture in its diversity and depth.
«healthy roots, healthy tree»
- This motto describes our commitment to creating a strong foundation for the African community. We believe that sustainable success is only possible when we focus on deep-rooted identity and cultural awareness. Our work promotes community empowerment and growth by addressing the needs and challenges of people of African descent.
Our Activities
We organize events, workshops, cultural projects and educational initiatives that bring people together, inspire and showcase African culture in all its depth and diversity. Our goal is to create a space that not only honors African history and present, but also shapes the future of our community.
Together for a change
As an association for people of African descent in Switzerland, we focus on networking, cooperation and cultural exchange. We not only offer a platform for engaging with African culture, but also promote cooperation with other organizations and institutions in order to create a respectful and diverse society.
