Intercultural exchange & Zanzibar History

“Slavery has been removed from the market, but not from the mind,” was shared by Nagaraj today during Reflection Hour.

After a morning exploring Stone Town with talented local youth, YGP participants visited a slave museum where they learned about the history of the slave trade in Zanzibar.

In the afternoon, we took part in a workshop on Interfaith Dialogue with both YGP and local participants. Eye-level discussions allowed participants the opportunity to learn about each others’ perspectives on religion in an open and respectful way.

We completed the day with a traditional dinner hosted by Zanzibar SOS Children’s Village and an engaged reflection on our theme of the day “Slavery, Racism, and Dialogue”
