About Activists-in-Residence

Activists-in-Residence (AiR) is a four weeks residency program initiated by the Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity and the Training Centre for Development Cooperation (TCDC).

The AiR programme provides an opportunity for activists to engage their peers from other countries across the African continent to deepen their understanding of their local struggles through other activists’ lenses. Interactions taking place during the programme will aim to enhance the skills of activists, to more effectively participate in ongoing structural and systemic change efforts.

Activists-in-Residence will leave the programme with a number of assets including a consolidated publication covering the main subject area of the residency; interviews and conversations based products/stories, enhanced networks and connections and a residency report to help inform similar future events.
