Democratic Republic of Congo
Learning, Understanding, Acting
Why a workshop about the Congo?
The Democratic Republic of Congo is a land of contrasts: immense wealth of natural resources and breathtaking scenery – and at the same time, a place of immeasurable suffering. Decades of conflict have claimed millions of lives. Many speak of "silent genocide", about whom the world knows far too little.
But the Congo is not only pain. It is also a land of joy, music, dance, and a culture that finds its strength in color, song, and community.
