Black to the Future (BTTF II) is a 24 months strategic partnership and inter-generational project for youth workers from the African Diaspora in Munich, Rotterdam, Lisbon and Manchester. It is the follow up of 'BLACK TO THE FUTURE (2017-2018) - A Sankofa approach to the exchange of youth work practice‘. BTTF II is co-funded by European Commission within the Erasmus+ Programme.
We were in Munich from 15th to 19th October 2019 exploring youth work practices. Up next, Rotterdam at the beginning of 2020!
Here’s a poem from Angeli, one of the participants:
GUMBO MUNICH
Angeli Sweeney
M - Many bikes of 2 wheeled transport abound
U - Unlike any place or city I have this far found
N - Nicely neat in parts, yet full of the lost
I - Interested to know what do Black bodies cost?
C - Because culturally, it is a melting pot
H - But how well does Munich cook together?
