Yout h of the diaspora | end of year excursion

African Diaspora Alliance experienced 5 days in Cali, Colombia, action-packed with activities and encounters that will stay with students for their lives. The Youth of the Diaspora experience allowed students to meet with local historians, students, story-tellers and community organizations to learn more about the Afro-Colombian experience after learning a great deal throughout the year during their after-school program.

This itinerary explored Black history and realities in Colombia and was built with guidance from the Director of the African Diaspora Alliance to correspond with their after-school program curriculum.

Here’s What Students & Faculty Had to Say

My favorite workshop was meeting with all the other groups and getting to ask questions about the quality of life and certain viewpoints on history as well as culture.

Work with us to curate a trip that allows your people

 to explore their curiosities out in the world.

You could observe how captivated students were to meet youth that looked like them and how eager they were to fill in the barrier created by language. Whether that be through food, music, or dance. Each group connected nevertheless!
