Zimbabwe | The world is not enough + workshop of traditional music

The world is not enough is a series of meetings where we will talk to migrants and migrant women living permanently or temporarily in our region.

These are open discussions where we will talk about stereotypes and verify them with reality.

Each meeting will be dedicated to one country/city.

This time we invite you to talk about Zimbabwe, and our guest (who also will lead music workshop!) will be Vesta Chawira, who describes herself: “Young girl from Zimbabwe, I am 24 years old ,very vibrant outgoing and shy sometimes.I love music and singing and learning more about peoples cultures and how it brings them together.”
