The Baobab Arts and Culture Association can contribute to numerous networks around Slovenia and abroad with various cultural programes.
The Baobab Society also spreads the cultural knowledge and awareness outside of capital city Ljubljana to whole Slovenia and abroad by actively engaging first- and further generation-immigrants from Africa in training workshops covering the fields of performing arts (dance and drama) and vocal music (singing). But the main objective is not only about spreading the African cultural heritage in Europe, the aim is also to link and intertwine the cultures of the two continents and thus enrich the local mainstream society in Slovenia and Europe
The Boabab Society is progressively empowering Slovenian cultural space and we would like to share our knowledge and establish new ties in Mediterranean region.
We belive that ALF Network can provide us with new information and offer opportunities for further development and built strong international non goverment cultural institution such as The Baobab Society is longing for.
