How did and does colonialism affect identity and social dimensions such as climate change and the environment or mental health? For two weeks, young people from Germany and Rwanda explored these topics on film and are now looking forward to presenting the documentary they made during their time together.
The German-Rwandan youth exchange project organized by ABC Bildungs- und Tagungszentrum and Rwanda Cinema Centre funded by the German-African Youth Organization deals with the intersection of various topics with colonialism. The group will explore what images existed in relation to dealing with the environment and the climate crisis as well as mental health before colonization and how these have changed as a result of colonization. The aim is to understand colonial continuities, acquire historical knowledge and establish links to current problems. In practical film workshops, they learn how to shoot and edit a film and thus process their new knowledge in film.
