Meet the Neighbours’ EU-Africa Film initiative

As the current Covid-19 crisis is keeping the majority of the world’s students out of school and universities and confined into their homes – the European Union encourages youth from both Member States and partner countries to find creative ways to keep cultivating their inner self. For that reason, the initiative “Meet the Neighbours of the Neighbours during COVID-19 time” will open a digital window to enable students and youth from Africa, the Mediterranean and Europe to have free access - through the streaming platform FestivalScope.org – to a selection of high-quality films about the respective cultures, providing for a mutual understanding and build solid basis to strengthen fertile inter-cultural dialogue.
