The Ray of Light Foundation offers workshops throughout the Netherlands, and in other European countries. The theatrical workshop with Djembe music is based on the book LONG ROAD or in Dutch DE LANGE WEG by Bruce Cerew.

The objective of the project is to create more awareness about Dutch asylum policy, children in conflicts, migration and integration amongst students between 12 and 18 years old.

In these workshops, Cerew tells stories of humankind’s inhumanity to humankind. The author and founder of the Foundation draws on the terrible history of the many civil unrests and wars in Africa; especially from his devastating and near death experience as a war affected child in Liberia and Sierra Leone – where millions of Africans suffered unimaginable odds to escape tyranny, killings and bloodshed.

This project is an open door to humane dialogue. Creative ideas from students on current issues are like fresh, healing breeze blowing through The Netherlands and Europe. These workshops with students positively make us all reflect on ways of changing our established mindsets; and truly becoming one another’s keeper in this trying world.

Please, kindly contact us if you want Bruce Cerew to inspire you and your students!
