How ?
By offering activities around traditional games, by creating a game library, by promoting African art and craftsmanship or even by organizing a Advice and Guidance service for immigrants, by providing Afro-European information via our WebTV and Wema Info news site and also events.
Eden Games
By our name "The Games of Eden" (Les Jeux d'Eden) we want to evoke the diversity of our activities and refer to the Garden of Eden which is the prerogative of the perfect world.
The copies are presented during events, integrated into the game library or offered for sale, will be made in Africa, by craftsmen in order to participate in local development.
Promoting "Living Together"
We want to offer everyone from Belgium and even Europe hundreds of games from Africa.
Our ambition is to eventually create an “African socio-cultural house”.
