Diaspora Seminar and 25th Anniversary of Tanzania Network e.V.
Date: October 11, 2025 / 2:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Venue: Berlin Global Village
DIASPORA SEMINAR: IDENTITY, PARTICIPATION & GLOBAL SOLIDARITY
This afternoon seminar is especially aimed at members of the Tanzanian diaspora living in Germany, but it is also open to anyone interested in the topic and connected to Tanzania in any way – through friendship, family, cooperation, or shared engagement.
Together, we will explore the following questions:
- What does it mean to live between two countries and cultures?
- How has living in Germany changed mindset, values, or ambitions?
- How do diasporic experiences shape how we see ourselves – and how do others expect us to be?
- What does it mean to raise children in Germany?
