Exploring Our Journey Through Tourism Exchange

DMTE is all about fostering a deeper connection between the African Diaspora and our rich cultural history. Through group tourism, sharing personal stories, and engaging in cultural exchanges, this project will help bridge the gap between the African Diaspora and the continent, encouraging meaningful connections that will last for generations.

Join us for the DMTE Presentation – a three-day unforgettable event, happening in Verona, Italy from September 19th–21st, 2025!

We are excited to invite you to be part of something truly transformative—the Diaspora Memorial & Tourism Exchange (DMTE).

This event is more than just an experience; it’s a powerful opportunity to reconnect with our heritage, share our stories, and celebrate our shared culture.
