Calendar

On 14 March 2024, Coloured Wisdom is organising a special iftar evening in collaboration with Sankaa, International Committee, Elders Platform and partners. You're welcome to join from 5 pm onwards. After sunset, we will share a supper together. Everyone is welcome to bring a (vegetarian) meal. Speakers will also be present to highlight the cultural and religious significance of fasting.

Speakers: Daniel Alliet (Priest), Adrian Tiron Orthodox parish, Amir Haberkorn (Jewish community) and Lamghebech Abdelilah (Muslim community). 

There is still a lot of work to be done. Since this edition of OutSpoken, our monthly platform for spoken word, coincides with the International Day Against Racism, we would like to take this opportunity to speak out about it. 

We wish the International Day Against Racism was unnecessary, but unfortunately racism and discrimination is still deeply rooted in all levels of our society. It is important that we do not look away from this. We need you to share your outrage, wishes or ideas for a better world. Come to the open mic and share your thoughts!  

On this night we also welcome the young people who participated in our music stage 'Beats ft. Y'all.' They will present their own song. At 20:30 you can also watch the short film 'All under the same sun,' with stories about migration told by different witnesses.
 
[18:30 - 20:00] Writing session  
[20:30] Film screening 'Allen onder dezelfde zon'
[20:30 - 22:00] Open Mic   

The short film 'Allen onder dezelfde zon' (All under the same sun) will be shown at our place on March 21st at 20:30 for International Day Against Discrimination. That evening, we’ll also have an open mic for spoken word. Come and share your thoughts! :)

On the short film: 
How do you start a conversation about the challenges of immigration, whether you are an immigrant or not? Sometimes, people talk about others, instead of with them. We wanted to share different stories and views about what it’s like to be an immigrant, in front of a camera. Several stories will come online over the next few weeks. Keep an eye on our social media.

Kuumba, Internationaal comité, Euro-Gzennaya en Huis van Amazigh warmly invite you on the 07.03 and 22.03 to join us in breaking the fast, starting from 17:30 each time, during our cosy iftars with music, food and drinks!

‘Family Day!’ is one of our recurring events with activities for children and families. We want to create a warm space where parents, children and people from Anderlecht and the area can meet through creative activities. Everyone can participate in African board games, face painting, craft activities and dance or percussion workshops. During the event, Kuumba Kaffee will also be open, so curious passers-by are welcome to pop in and soak up the atmosphere.

[14:00 – 17:00] 

Next Famlily Day: 26/04, 31/05 and 28/06
