Welcome to a spin-off of the Diaspora Dialogen.
‘Bou di Watapana’ is a series of dialogues embracing the narratives of the Dutch Caribbean diaspora in the Netherlands. In each episode, we engage in thought-provoking conversations that unravel the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the chosen paths and the unique perspectives that shape the endeavors of (young) professionals from the ABCSSS-islands.
But our series isn’t just about individual stories; it’s a celebration of community. Explore how our guests give back to their communities, creating a positive ripple effect through their work.’Bou di Watapana’ invites you to a space where stories converge, knowledge is shared, and the spirit of community thrives.
Because the purpose of the Diaspora Dialogues is to give various diasporas space for an open, constructive, and honest dialogue, we adhere to the following guidelines:
- We acknowledge that these conversations can become uncomfortable, so we explicitly agree to handle that discomfort constructively together.
- We believe in the power of multiple voices and are committed to promoting an environment where everyone feels encouraged to share their perspectives.
- IMPORTANT: We also encourage all attendees to first give space to the present members of the invited diaspora during the conversation.
