Here is an article for people who want to know a little more.
Good reading
The reconstruction of a slave ship, a citizen project
The Métisse association in Nantes, born 13 years ago, has 250 members, organizes workshops in African dance, Capoeira, salsa and a music festival "history of the future".
After 7 years of reflection on the “educational boat” project, the association is launching this project on an international scale.
The educational boat will be the reconstruction of the slave trader's boat called "Aurore".
This project was presented to the President of the French Republic and is supported by UNESCO as well as by the Committee for the Memory of Slavery.
Several French cities also support the project.
It will be a living museum where young and old can learn the history of the triangular trade, the slave trade and open your eyes to today's slavery.
6 months a year the boat will sail to reach African, American or European ports. This mobile museum will meet a very diverse population.
Partnerships will be created with cities, schools, associations to give this project a human dimension.
Each small or large association can make a contribution to the building,
each elementary or higher school can play a role
All cities, communities that will support the project will be handed the torch of fraternity
This mobile museum will meet a very diverse population.
This boat will be a unique educational tool to learn the history of its city from its ancestors.
This reconstruction will be in the city of Nantes a symbol of tolerance, respect and fraternity.
The works are scheduled to start in mid 2008 and will last 5 years.
And do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in the educational boat.
