Afropeaneurship

Background

The African Diaspora are more hit by unemployment in Europe. This impacts on their lifequality, life expectancy and situation in Europe. At the same time afrophobia and racism is becoming an everyday issue in european societies. What we need is that different levels of European institutions acknowledge and find strategies for a more inclusive society. We also need to create active agents of the african diaspora so that they themselves get involved in changing their situation. One way to do this is to adress the unique role that African Diaspora have and should have in the Europe-Africa relations and in the world.

They are one of the largest funders or investors of Africa as they give back money to their families in their homecountries. In that way they are giving hidden aid. But we as a minoritygroup in Europe can do more.

Afropeaneurship is already happening, more and more of the african diaspora are already providing business importing and exporting products and coming up with new businessideas that are improving the quality of life in Europe in different ways.
