[afro-nets] RFI: Socially conscious theater/music/dance group from Africa

AIFO Looks for a Socially Conscious Theater/Music/Dance Group
from Africa for Shows in Italy
-------------------------------------------------------------

AIFO is a grassroot organisation with 45 groups spread all over
Italy and has decided to focus on issues linked to Africa in
2005. As part of the initiatives, it is planned to organise a
tourneé of a small group of 4-5 persons from Africa involved in
theater/music/dance shows to be organised with different AIFO
groups during second half of January 2005 in different Italian
cities. Groups linked with NGOs involved in health care and hu-
man right issues in Africa, groups with disabled persons and
groups with women will be given preference.

AIFO will cover all expenses for air-travel and stay of the
group in Italy for this period. An additional contribution for
the activities of the NGO is also possible. It is an opportunity
for groups involved in such activities to show case their work
and get wider publicity in Europe. Groups from French or Portu-
guese speaking Africa are equally welcome to apply.

Interested organisations please send a brief write up about the
group, possibly with one or two pictures to
