Finland is becoming more and more multicultural. People representing different countries, religions and traditions are living together.
IN ENGLISH:
Waaw Africa Productions is a multicultural events
that aims at opening the citizens of Jyväskylä and visitors to the musical and cultural diversity of the modern world. Getting to know a culture helps you to better understand and appreciate its people, prevents prejudice and enhances peaceful co-existence. For this reason we wish to promote our own culture here in Finland, far from
our roots of origin. And so WaawAfrica was created, to serve this basic purpose. Lyhyesti suomeksi
WaawAfrica Productions on Suomessa toimiva, länsiafrikkalaisiin taiteisiin ja tuotteisiin keskittyvä yritys. Toistaiseksi sivusto on pääosin englanninkielinen erittäin monikulttuurisesta toimintaympäristöstä johtuen, m***a pyrimme lähitulevaisuudessa kääntämään ainakin osan sivujen sisällöstä myös suomeksi. Otathan yhteyttä, mikäli haluat lisää selvyyttä johonkin aiheeseen selvällä suomen kielellä :)
