Culture, motor for sustainable human development.When art and culture flourish, people are concerned with more than simply surviving. After all, these preoccupations involve standards and values, dialogue with other people, the past and future, the way people look at themselves and the world around them. Art and culture contribute to creating awareness among people, their sustainable development and the establishment of stable societies. People who are aware will not avoid debate with other people and will simultaneously reject all forces that stand in the path of open discussion. People who are conscious of themselves also take all possible steps to develop their society into a stable unit in consultation with others. Self-aware people also know and feel that they are more intensively involved in their own sustainable development. Africalia aims to make a contribution to sustainable human development cooperation based on this thinking. Not on the basis of what Europe considers necessary or useful, but what is deemed desirable by people and organisations in Africa. Contact @ Africalia : Bjorn Maes, Artistic Coordinator
