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

their local struggles through other activists’ lenses. Interactions
taking place during the programme will aim to enhance the skills of
