Cinema Tuesday. Screening of “Petits bonheurs”

In the context of the decade for recognising descendants of the African diaspora launched by the UN in 2015, thereby promoting a global commitment to that community, the Three Cultures Foundation offers a cycle dedicated to that topic. On this occasion we aim to highlight the African migratory crisis and ponder the critical nature of the interactions and transformations affecting Afro-descendents in their diaspora, especially in the European context.

The Three Cultures Foundation thus continues to manifest its commitment to social justice, the promotion of human rights and respect for cultural diversity.
