Beyond the bi-communal narrative/ Exploring racism and social inclusion in Cyprus
Another Saturday show in English! This week Yassine Chagh joins me for a discussion on racism, social inclusion, Peacebuilding, racial justice, ethnicity, trauma and much more. Yassine is a 21-year old passionate activist, born and raised in Morocco. He now lives in the Northern part of Cyprus where he is engaging with the community as a youth activist in the field of Peacebuilding and inclusion in divided communities through multiple trainings, projects and talks held by UNFICYP. He is also a LGBTQ+ advocate, a racial justice activist and researcher and a period equity fighter having initiated a period movement called Let's Talk Period Cyprus. Recently he has worked as a racial inclusion expert evaluator for CAN-CY.
