Culture And Memory

Connecting to our Cameroonian Roots

To capture key aspects of Cameroonian culture from the minds of migrants to Greater Manchester in the 1960s, creating accessible digital records and: - - Training/instructional videos - Supply and sourcing information. Important benefits: - - Ensuring knowledge of key aspects of Cameroonian culture doesn’t die when the original migrants – most aged 70+ - pass - Enthusing a new generation of the diaspora with a deeper understanding of their roots and a desire to keep Cameroonian culture alive and relevant - Better enable this new generation of young people to share their history with their indigenous peers, breaking down boundaries as a result - Build bridges between the Francophone and Anglophone Cameroonian diaspora in Greater Manchester – communities that have drifted apart - Enhance connections with the diaspora for other West African nations and act as a template for documenting and sharing distinctive features of their cultures and heritage.
