Afr
ican Caribbean Re-Union was established in June 1996 and has achieved charitable status. The motto of the organisation which is ‘Bridging Our Differences” does not only refer to people from the African and African Caribbean community or members of the organisation. The motto spreads out to every one within the community as we all share our different cultures to build our local community
| What We do
For the public at large, we want to promote a better understanding and appreciation of the worth and influence of the history, art and culture of Africa leading to the abandonment of stereotypes. For Africans and Caribbeans, we wish to promote a sense of pride in the achievements of their ancestors, leading to a greater desire to learn of their past, a sense of unity among all Black people (cf. our motto ‘Bridging Our Differences’), and hopefully a decrease in ‘black on black’ frictions and conflicts. |
Our Goals
Our main goal now is to establish the African Caribbean Healing and Educational Centre in London. This building is to encourage life long learning and will be a resource centre for young people, students and residents whereby the education of our history can be promoted. Our services will then be able to reach more people, and we can make better programmes. It will house, among other things, the exhibition “A Taste of Africa” |
