WeDiasporan: Exploring the Voices Within Us and shaping a new narrative

Our Vision for the Future

Our mission as a socio-cultural research organization is to cultivate transformative diaspora experiences through three key pillars: the Diaspora Memorial & Tourism Exchange, CineConferences that foster critical dialogue and empowerment, and Knowledge Transfer to promote self-improvement and sustainable development.

Diaspora Memorial & Tourism Exchange (DMTE)

Our Diaspora Memorial & Tourism Exchange program offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with African roots by visiting historical landmarks, exploring cultural sites, and engaging with African communities. Learn more

CineConferences – Reflection and Empowerment

We believe in the power of conversation and creativity to drive change. Our initiative leverages cinema and critical thinking to provoke thought, ignite dialogue, and address issues impacting Africa and its diaspora. Learn more

Knowledge Transfer For Self-Improvement & Sustainable Development

Through expert-led workshops, recorded video training, and knowledge-sharing initiatives, we equip our community with the tools, insights, and resources necessary to unlock their full potential in a globalized world. Learn more

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.

Explore our annual CineConferences

We believe in the transformative power of conversation and creativity to drive meaningful change. To this end, we project at least three major events each year, including a key conference every four months.

Our CineConferences harness the power of cinema and critical dialogue to provoke thought, ignite meaningful conversations, and confront the challenges impacting Africa and the African diaspora. See our past event: We Refugees Verona 2016.
