3.African Culture and Democratic Dialogue.
With Cultural Night
University of Applied Sciences Potsdam 
Oct, 17-19 2013

Seeking for answers to questions bordering on immigration, integration and good governance at dialogue tables would not be completed without the participation of all the parties involved.
This conference seeks to bring migrants, students, politicians, researchers, academicians and the activists together and dialogue to seek answers to questions bordering on immigration, integration and actions that are responsible for the creation of refuges. Many of the presentations taking place during this conference are expected to provide or recommend solutions to most of these questions.
Cultural understanding plays an important role in the work of integration. The cultural night and the cultural exchange between students and the migrants  are designed to bring the migrants and the students closer to assist the effort of integration work. 
Call for Papers.
Youth and democratic understanding,
Move to Separating violence from democracy.
What are the roles of youths in free and fair elections? We want to look into how elections in most parts of Europe are peaceful and why elections in many parts of Africa are still accompanied by violence. What could be done to promote election without violence?
What should be done to discourage youth from taking part in violent groups. Should Democracy in Africa be supported with welfare system? How could this affect the rise in youth migration?
What are the causes of corruption in Africa, how does it affect the youth and how to discourage corruption in governance.
