Afropean Bridges 2021 – Virtual Dialogues

Online event

From April 12th to May 27th the Center for the Humanities and Social Change is going to release an important series of dialogues marking the third edition of Afropean Bridges.

Afropean Bridges is an international workshop hosted by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and focused on the identity of Europeans of African origin and on the multiple relations between Africa and Europe. The workshop aims to literally “bridge the gap” between the reality and the misleading clichés about African-Europeans, especially those related to migration, development, and human rights.

Dialogues are going to be released twice a week (Monday and Thursday at 6.00 p.m. CET) and will remain available on HSC-Venice Youtube Channel and on the Afropean Bridges website. Unless otherwise stated, dialogues are in English.
