Close your eyes! What do you see? Listen…
A little story, that tells you much about your own stereotypes. You don’t understand?
Listen to the end – and then perhaps listen again…

Samuel Njiki is a professional intercultural trainer from Bremen. At the beginning of our German African Media Camp, we took part in his workshop about stereotypes. So who could be a better expert to ask about stereotypes, prejudices, how to avoid them – and about this interesting job?!
We wanted to know, if people really think in stereotypes a lot. So we went to the city of Bremen and asked pedestrians about their picture of Africa.
Well, we heared stereotypes. But it was also surprising, that there where many people who knew more about the continent (!) and had special relationships to it.
We also asked about the influence of media. Listen!
As you see, we are very happy joining the German-African Media Camp. Veit from Partnership with Africa foundation e.V. is so happy, that he started to sing…
What African country would Christian love to see? Which food makes Ann feeling calm? And – important! – what are our dreams of future?
Getting to know each other is the best way to fight stereotypes!
Further down you can hear Ann interviewing us other members of „Comenga Radio Station“. But there are still questions left – and Ann has to be asked herself… Listen and get to know us a little better!
From the weather to god and from christmas to favourite hairstyles: Ann was asking A LOT of questions to all the members of our “Comenga Radio Station”: Mercy from Nigeria, Gloria from Tansania and Jule and Christian from Germany. Ann herself is coming from Nigeria.
We all join the German African Media Camp in Bremen in northern Germany. By producing our own podcasts, we want to combat stereotypes in media – and we want to show you more about us and our views of the world.
