Project Magreb
Ahlan, welcome to Project Magreb. This summer I will be updating you on issues occurring in the Magreb Region (North-Africa, for the nitwits, check it out on Google Maps) in the line of the Nour Project.
Together with 30 other very nice people I have the chance to shed a little light (Nour) on a region that is often shown in a negative of critical way. My goal is to... just go there and see what life is actually like! ~ from a decent biased western point of view, obviously...
I will record the life of both the tourists here, and the ‘local people’, the Tunisians. I hope to participate in their society and share beautiful, inspiring, scary?, weird, unusual or heartwarming experiences with the people of Tunisia. Of course, we all know Tunisia as a touristic destination and from the news of the attack on the Bardo Museum two months ago, but I’m sure there will be a lot more to discover.
If you want to find out more about the people that live on the other side of the mediterranean, or just like to follow my wicked adventures, then feel free to check out this blog from time to time. I’ll try, I repeat, try to keep this up-to-date..
Of course, I will also provide you with footage and reports of random things, let’s not make things more boring than necessary :)
The last couple of months I have been receiving some training at the faculty of theology in Utrecht, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, de Baak Zeist and have had some readings by Jan Eikelboom, Rena Netjes and other interesting folks, which should make me completely up for the task. We’ll see about that..
