Abstract:
The Black Academy is an initiative of MeineWelt e.V. in collaboration with PLACE e.V. and the NGO PLACE for Africa to make the knowledge and skills of people of African descent visible. The aim of the Black Academy is to create a platform to further educate Afros, to popularise their expertise, to equip them and to create links between black people worldwide. But the academy is open to all.
Our A0 posters will present to the public our various achievements and contributions in the field of prevention and awareness raising within the Black Academy project. The Black Academy develops educational material in the form of books, videos, idioms and podcasts to educate, raise awareness, inform and educate about systemic racism. These stands will provide a better understanding of the knowledge of people of African descent as a solution to current crises (discrimination, power structures, climate crisis...).
With funding from the UN decade, the Black Academy promotes socio-economic rights by lobbying authorities and decision-making bodies. The Black Academy strives to highlight the struggle for freedom and justice of black and Afro-descendants.
Visitors will have the opportunity to access our different achievements and testimonies.

Mariette Nicole Afi Amoussou
My name is Nicole. I have been actively involved in international project work since 2010 including Benin, Germany, France and Cameroon. Since 2012 I advise and accompany institutions and non-governmental organizations, in the field of anti-racism sensitization, non-discriminatory process. As a process facilitator, I design pedagogical concepts for volunteer service organizations. I am co-founder of the association MeineWelt e.V and Place e.V. I lead the Black Academy program which focuses on competencies of black people.
I work a lot with the analysis of images, language, and power structures in political education work. I support institutions in making their public relations sensitive to discrimination and in establishing a permanent and sustainable process of raising awareness. I am particularly experienced in community work and empowerment of diaspora organizations and people and/or children and youth with migration experience. Another focus of my work is capacity building, decolonization, and reflection on colonial continuities as well as process support for institutions and organizations in the field of development cooperation. I speak Fon, French, German and English and am very open to other forms of communication.
