Next Kwanzaa event: NIA SEMINAR, 30 Dec. 2007

In the continuation of this year's KWANZAA theme, "Preserving Our Afrikan Cultural Heritage", we now invite to an interactive seminar where, in unity, we will look for answers to the question: "What Is Wrong With The Afrikan Family?". This focus derives from an awareness that family is the foundation of Afrikan culture. If our families are not healthy, well-functioning and balanced, it follows that our culture will be crippled and dismantled.

 

NIA DAY is the 5th Day of Kwanzaa, and reminds us of our purpose: "As Afrikans we will be focused, work to develop our community, respect our traditions and restore our people to their traditional greatness."

 

The seminar will gather young and old to carefully examine challenges and solutions. More than speeches and lectures, this day will be a "family reasoning" based on dialogue, sharing and participation. As part of the seminar, the family will split into a SISTERS CONVENTION and a BROTHERS CONVENTION, where specific challenges related to women and men will be looked at in an honest and practical way.
