Ten years ago, Ginty received 2 young people in the studio. They were part of a dance group called Sick City Entertainment. The reason they were invited on air was to talk about a new idea that they wanted to put in place. Our Past Initiative. The big idea was to create a platform for the young people in Rwanda to learn their history and story. The right medium to do that was art. Using art as a universal language, but also, as the language that young people understand beyond speeches.
They created the right partnerships and started organising events that included dance, poem, acting, with messaging lessons of History and the Genocide against the Tutsi. They also would run projects to support the genocide survivors. In this episode, Ginty speaks to Christian, the leader of Our Past Initiative, and tells the story of their journey.
10 years later, Our Past initiative is a registered NGO that plans to do more and better. The power of having and idea and acting upon it!
Thank you for listening. Meet you here next week!
