AWOLI Africa Festival
Münsterplatz, Constance
About the festival
We want to build bridges between people, cultures and values such as recognition, tolerance and solidarity. The AWOLI Africa Festival by the lake is intended to facilitate intercultural encounters and exchanges and help to break down prejudices. The festival aims to present the values, cultural riches and joie de vivre of the African continent and bring them to life. As a university city and border town, Constance cultivates and refines the cultural diversity of the region. The city is a charming and suitable venue for a major cultural festival. The proceeds from the festival will go to the AWOLI e.V. association, which will pass these funds on one-to-one to social projects.
