SOUNDBITES OF DIDO LAKAMA, COORDINATOR OF THE CHANGE ASBL ORGANIZATION, OF NOAH ENDAMBELA, BORN RAISED IN BELGIAN AND NIKA, A HAIRDRESSER BORN IN THE CONGO.TRANSLATION:LAKAMA:1. "Charge's role is really to create social cohesion, above all to give a place, to explain to young people that they were born here but have African origins about their parents, that they have a place in Europe, that they are European, that They are Belgians. So we try to teach them their history and their customs and also to rebalance their double culture because they are first of all Belgians. They know Belgium through school, education, but they don't usually have the transmission of their African side. As a result, this sometimes creates an identity problem and they search for themselves.The role of the association is precisely to compensate for this lack of education about a part of their identity. We have seen that if a person is not balanced about their identity, they can create other problems at the level of their personality and their integration. So he has to be balanced and as an Afro-European he must assume his Western European side but also know his past, the customs and the culture of his parents. This is the role of the change association but we also fight against discrimination and racism ".2. "In the Afro-descendant community we have seen that there are three groups of people: Those who have renounced their African side to have a better chance of integrating into society, being recognized as Belgian and finding their place. They think that the The African part must be completely put aside, they only speak the languages ??of the adopted country, French, English, Dutch and even eat and live like Westerners.The second group do the opposite: they do not find their place here as Europeans, they suffer discrimination and racism and there is a whole job to do to find their place. They stay in their neighborhoods and interact with the people in their community. They do not evolve in the integration of their adopted country. They speak their language and eat and drink as is done in Africa. They try to reproduce a little of what they know to feel safe, to feel themselves.Then there is the last group, those with one country on the left and another on the right and who fully embrace the fact that they are Afro-European. They have a European and an African side. Her parents are of African descent and were born or raised here. They assume very well that their adopted country is here. They are Belgian and they are European and they are very well integrated into society. They work, study and speak the languages ??of here and there. "ENDAMBELA:3. "I was born here but when I return to my country I feel at home. I was not born there but still I feel at home, whether with my family or with the citizens of the city I feel at home."KADIATOU:4. "Yes of course, I teach him little by little, I speak our mother tongue and I teach him our culture. I try to teach him at the same time that he adapts here. He learns both cultures and gets along well."NIKA:5. "No, I was not born here, I was born in the Congo, in Kinshasa. I came to Belgium when I was 12 years old. Later I started hairdressing school until I got my diploma here in Belgium."6. "I feel first of all Congolese, one must not forget their origins, even if they are in Belgium. First I feel Congolese before feeling Belgian. A bit of both but first Congolese."
