Balancing the representation of countries in the World Heritage (Colombia Solidaria)
Friday from 4.00pm - 6.00pm at Hochschule Flensburg, Room B123
Colombia Solidaria is a group of Colombian diaspora that emerged in the city of Hamburg in the context of the Colombian national strike of 2019. Our focus is both political (articulating critical voices abroad) and supportive (creating a space of encounter and community for the Colombian/Latin American diaspora in Hamburg and supporting cultural and educational projects in Colombia).
The members of ColSol and people affiliated with the group are mostly Colombian migrants. We are workers and students who share the same objective: to discuss the present and future of our country and the need to start creating a change in order to make our country a better place for our people. The group, in this sense, brings together a diversity of thoughts and interests that are in line with the contemporary concerns of our country, as well as the needs of the Colombian and Latin American diaspora in Hamburg.
