Building Bridges between Youth in the Community and at University in Mali and Benin
ABOUT THE TALK
: What do photography, folktales, peacebuilding, and animated videos have in common? Find out when our West African colleagues Drs. Bienvenu Azehoungbo and Welore Tamboura, and MSU faculty members Drs. Stephen Esquith and Marcy Hessling O’Neil discuss “Parole aux Jeunes!/Youth Speak!”, a community engagement project happening in Benin Republic, Mali, and Michigan. The project aims to build bridges between communities and universities to develop the capacity of youth to make social change, and is one of the Alliance for African Partnership’s PIRA Grant Awardees. Join us for an interactive session (and maybe even hear a story or two)!
