We continue to be a land of passage and also of GROWING CULTURAL DIVERSITY. Understanding the reality of the phenomenon of migration from experientiality can generate INTER-GENERATIONAL AND INTER-CULTURAL BRIDGES. For a long time, addressing irregular migration related issues have primarily been done through the lens of politics, conferences, workshops and seminars; and discussions have focused on the political and socio-economic context. At Mandem Global Entertainment, we see an opportunity to introduce creative mediums, especially through arts and partnering with the youth to support ongoing efforts to reduce to the barest minimum or end irregular migration. Working with the youth to address irregular migration issues is critical, and engaging their creative capabilities is even more crucial because of how they interface and are impacted by it. Shifting attitudes and changing behavior around the perception of greener pastures at all cost is effective when it starts early. To this effect, we want to equip and support young male and female leaders to better understand the science, politics and socio-economic realities behind irregular migration and to enhance their knowledge, skills and capacities to arm themselves, and ultimately help to end the perilous attempt to migrate and focus more on safe regular migration. We are intentionally prioritizing the youth due to the many vulnerability factors for them—as key drivers in the quest for a better future prospects; and the crucial role they can play to end this dreaded means. We want to highlight both the factors and additionally, allow them to leverage their capacity and potential as agents of change to address this gruesome phenomenon through arts.
