On the program were African artists and bands like Nana Achampong, Thendiva & Renevision (Lion King) and the UB Live Band. Show, Dance, Gospel-Singers and Culture Performances were accompanied by an information program from stage interviews, workshops and panel discussions.
Among the prominent speakers of the event were u.a. Africa Day patron Senator a.D. Ian Karan, His Imperial Highness Prince Dr. Asfa-Wossen Asserate (Ethiopia), Thomas Ritzenhoff (District Director Wandsbek), Senator a.D. Dietrich Wersich (CDU), FDP faction leader Katja Suding, Mayor Michael Sarach (Ahrensburg), Elombo Boyaela (member of the Bremen citizenship) and the Hamburg Alliance 90 / The Greens chairman Katharina Fegebank.
Still on Sunday, the people crowded on the Wandsbeker Marktlatz until the end of the event to dance and celebrate. "In Hamburg and in Germany live very warm-hearted people," said Minister of State Hon. Rashid Pelpuo from Ghana at the conclusion of the event. And the organizers were also able to confirm this: "The openness and the willingness to get involved and take part in one another was impressive," says IMIC Advisory Board Frank Heinrich. Each year, Africa Day commemorates the founding of the African Union by the heads of state and government of thirty independent African states on May 25, 1963, and has been hosted by the nonprofit IMIC e.V. since 2012. In Hamburg, around 37,000 Africans and Afro-Germans celebrated this day.
The organizer of the Africa Day IMIC e.V. under the chairmanship of Sylvaina Gerlich advises and looks after migrants in almost all social areas and accompanies them in contact with authorities and institutions. For integration, e.g. Activities of the association such as children's camps, tuition, PC courses, senior citizen meetings and information events. With its integration work, especially in the African communities, IMIC, as an established NGO, is experiencing an ever increasing demand.
