THE PROJECT
Sicily's geographical proximity to the African continent is well known: the island of Lampedusa is only 113 kilometers from Tunisia.
The proximity to Africa and its people is continually evoked during the dramatic crossings of men, women and children who try to reach the gateway to Europe, risking their lives.
The encounter between Sicily and Africa is not an option but a necessary one, which today, alongside the tragic evidence of the victims of desperate crossings, takes on concrete form in the presence of African communities rooted in Sicilian territory, which contribute to redefining the landscape of our cities in intercultural terms.
1/3
The Ghanaian community is present in the city of Palermo with more than 3,000 people and is the largest African community and the fourth largest overall.
Through the Ghanaians in the diaspora, it is possible to approach a country in the midst of development, whose stability has been widely recognized and pointed to as a virtuous example for many African countries.
