"Be in my place" in the "Technopolis" of the Municipality of Athens

An experiential exhibition is organized by ActionAid in the "Technopolis" of the Municipality of Athens, at 9, 10 and 11 November.

In the exhibition "Step into my place", visitors will have the opportunity to experience the living conditions of the people of a poor village in Kongelai, Kenya.

What is an African community like?; How do its inhabitants feed themselves?; How big is a hut; What does looking for water mean?;

Within approx 20 minutes, audiovisual material, experiential activities and artifacts from Kenya will transport visitors to the reality of the people of Africa.

The living conditions will also be conveyed by the ActionAid volunteers who lived for a week in Kongelai, Kenya together with pastoralist families in one of the most arid and remote areas of the country.

They will be there to give information and share their experience.

The exhibition is organized on the occasion of 40 years of ActionAid.

Alongside, a photo exhibition titled: 'Africa through the eyes of volunteers' drawn by ActionAid volunteers from solidarity trips.

also, five African-themed documentaries will be screened.
