There is a new movement in town: I Am Kigali puts spotlight on the positive effects of migration and celebrates Kigali’s diversity and cosmopolitanism through a series of creative events.
The campaign launches with a Spoken Word Event this Wednesday, May 25th.
I am Kigali is a new and active campaign celebrating the innovation, cultural evolution and diversity rapidly transforming Kigali. The positive campaign will create space for conversations about what it means to be from Kigali and what it means to be a local anywhere in the World through a series of events throughout 2016.
A collaboration between International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and Impact Hub Kigali, I am Kigali aims to highlight the positive effects of population growth, migration and diversity of cultures in Rwanda:
“Kigali is changing rapidly, and this campaign is an opportunity to reflect on this change and to celebrate the innovation and cosmopolitanism that are emerging features of Rwanda’s capital”, says Jon Stever, Founder of The Office and Co-founder of Impact Hub Kigali.
International Organisation for Migration (IOM) works internationally to promote the positive benefits of migration for people and societies and is partnering with I am Kigali to spread a positive message about migration in Rwanda – and globally:
“IOM wants to challenge the anti-migrant stereotypes that often dominate the global public debate. The I am Kigali campaign will provide a platform for people from all walks of life to share their experience and stories to shed light on what it means to live in an accepting cosmopolitan society”, says Jay Mullins from IOM.
