Voices from the project

Questions about the project

There is currently no date yet. But in order to prepare a city-wide festival well so that it is a success, good preparation is required. An organizational team has already come together to find the right location, gather the artists and put together the program. The team is also already in contact with people from politics and society in Bukavu. There is currently a lack of funding.
