You can also find us at dot com slash science. You know, once you have a disability, i mean, but actually thats not true. And start always feel pretty funny. Here wants to be a professional dancer. He trains every day with a Dance Company in germanys black forest region. Its called seen outside are seen to hear dancers with and without disabilities perform together. The company doesnt do yorks condition as an impairment, seeing instead his artistic potential to laugh at least first, they stretch and warm up and take time to center themselves. Its a special day for the Dance Company to afterthoughts the 1st day of the new production. Knowing puts you on the 1st performance will be in a few months time. And the 2 choreographers claimed sanchez and tina myna will have their work cut out for them as will all the members of the group. Because everywhere her soul begins with a Meditation Group and it would be hot the training here focuses not only on producing a top performance, but also on developing the ability to look at the birds and hear the production has a minimal force. Its called no name. Asterisk, the musical yes. Its a bit of a gender and diversity and it will be your expects production with scene. Its fine. Hes been a part of this inclusive ensemble for 6 years now. It specializes in contemporary Dance Theatre bringing together performers with and with disability. Artistic potential is what counts here, nothing else. And theres plenty of that. Whether its ricardo, whos unable to walk or your who has down syndrome to me being different is normal for me. And so is accepting the way we are to team somebody using mind. See, why will this just to be a dancer and so on this if you do and dont sing is my thing. This is a map of people, but i love to meet him and ive realized that i need movement. I need it for my mind, but also for my fault of mine. But in my mind, i live just sitting in a wheelchair the whole time. I would be terrible, like my tummy dancing is about lightness and strength. But dont sing as also make me more selfconfident. One doesnt need that because to you ive become a so confident, young woman. I notice that in myself now. Here again, ricardo still need to complete their training as professional stage dancers they spend every afternoon here in the mornings they do a jungle, been a workshop for the disabled choreographers team of the minor and William Sanchez develop their ambitious training concept together. They feel that Dance Companies generally should be more open to people with disabilities, giving them equal opportunities fall out inside kenosha tons. Contemporary dance is about expression, this kid movement dealing with various themes on the stage to body language in taman suspicion of to be indeed one to individuality. Yes. Diversity and working with different people should bring them together on the stage. Each person in each body where there without the disability will fill these points, teef, i need to support this contemporary professional dancers what they are interested in, like disabled or even inclusive. Oh. But not everyone agrees with their approach to this must be found us. Of course we have to be honest and say that many theatres and other establishment that wed like to work with are performed projects with are not open to us to do it from going to 50 1. And thats because of discrimination. And it intimidates communion to some members of the ensemble, even shared accommodation, not far from the rehearsal room. Theyve come back for a break. This is it, and theres many, shes thinking hes here in cannes out pieces of cake left over from his 25th Birthday Party earlier in the week, maybe not 5 years ago here and moved out from his parents home, 450 kilometers away to come and live here in this accommodation for him, it was a big step towards independence. But the bias, but im not sure it didnt think about it twice. Did you . I suggested it in the group at the new york said straight away. Ok. Yeah, ill move to the black forest and yup, thats right. The news media being able to do things like this is like teaching the way the barriers and moving forward for the sort of positive thinking and not seeing things so negative. You know, he spends many hours a day rehearsing, often alone today too. He heads back to the dance around. After everyone else is finished. He wants to show us a solo dance that he performed on stage. And a few months ago, he received a grant to take part in a very high profile dance workshop. He was the 1st dancer with a disability to receive such a grant. I was so relieved to have so many people in the audience. So for this one shot and to be able to give my own performance, i think i found it was really, really good team and being able to show them my abilities and strength my potential so that they can see yes. Thats a dancer. Yeah. I think he has a disability, but hes a normal person. Amends amounted to me. Dancing and performing on stage is something completely natural for him. What he wants is for the audience to see him as a professional dancer, nothing more, but nothing less either. I have down syndrome and i have a disability, but actually thats not true. Its not how i feel. Im just a normal person like you. Yeah. We returned to the Dance Company 4 months later. Its no just a few days to go before the premiere of the new production on time. Im really looking forward to the prime time pretty novice gets. Weve now reached a final point with the production doesnt belong here anymore. So now it needs a stage. And the states make up and constance, todays the 1st full dress rehearsal jerk is hoping that this premiere will bring him another step closer to his goal. And the sukarno might like to do other things too. And not just david felix, why . Once hes completed his dance training get seen, its only like to take on roles with other Dance Companies that dont normally include artists with disabilities. Heroics, colleague fernando, often dances with other conventional companies. He says competition between the dancers is fierce, not like it seems at sinai, where theres more a sense of team spirit to deserters are very similar to automatically compete with each other on the same or different they are, the less that happens here. Everyone seeks to draw the best out of each other. One of those that have constantly comparing themselves to say hello to your mom 1st. I mean, weve all, you know, its the 1st reunion in erics parents have traveled right across germany for the premiere to watch their son perform. They noticed his dance, tell it early on and encouraged it, but they never thought he could have a professional dance career separate as my i didnt take it so seriously for guns. And because i couldnt see that he has any prospects that people you know, we have to have been through Higher Education to do training, not thoughts. And the opportunities just arent that doesnt stop. Its work for them. Today. Theyre grateful that youre grabbed his opportunity when it came, and others use it because development, hes undergone a sensational for us to me. Never expected that your good be so independent from this and live out his talents. So im tellin you dont come finally the big guy, darius, theyre performing it in theater, in the city of a quite thing and theyre about to go on stage. You know, im a bit nervous but im really looking forward to this premiere of the treme. I just feel like a professional dancer person at 10. So the production explores the role reversal of one time in the wheelchair. The boundaries between different genders merge as the performers have a fixed identity, theyre constantly changing the premiere a super sounding success. The hints of the left dont sing, its really amazing how ive never seen anything like that before. I thought it was really beautiful and the variety of don styles and so free this guy. Your thanks there. Cant pin the fairy tale. Thats he hopes to convince many more people in the future that artists like intimate contemporary dance, richer and more diverse. Some of them were child soldiers. Now theyre learning how to process trauma with yoga. Just one of the many projects initiated by her current goal to better the lives of the Somali People meet the 2020 germ in africa. Prize winner the 77 percent next. On t. W.

And i think deep into the german culture you did seem to take this drama down to you because its all out there. No time. Rachel, join me for me to jam on the gulf coast. Hello. And welcome to a new edison of the 77 percent. My name is liz show and im thrilled to have your company this is whats coming up on this weeks show. Bartender tracy, who moved from the netherlands to ghana to follow her dream. With ivan to south africas city of durban and explore its fantastic life and ill chat with phil waddell man from somalia, a peace activist whos dedicated to improving the lives of millions in terrible country in 1901, a civil war broke out in somalia and its estimated thats half a 1000000 people have been killed since then. A large part of the somali population has been living in poverty and fear for decades. Militants have taken control of several areas, especially in southern somalia, killing and extorting money from the rural population. Ilwad elman has made it her mission to help victims of the war in her home country. And she is using the power of nature and sports to bring much needed healing. Using the ocean to heal from trauma is new to many in somalia. But is just one way ilwad elman helps, former child soldiers and rape survivors overcome their trauma. She calls it a combination of yoga and mogadishu. The therapy aims to break down walls of silence and heal, sweating it out and then asking people to draw comparisons between challenging, challenging experiences like you know, pushing your body to limits and testing yourself. And whens the last time you experience Something Like that . And it resonated and theres a body of research thats available on these approaches. And we want to see if that also fits in a context like somalia didnt expect global attention for her work when she returned to her home country 10 years ago. She and her family were exiles in canada for many years. She was 19, didnt speak the local language and wasnt directly exposed to every day life in a war torn country. But her mother was already determined to go back out human rights activist, a fierce custodian of my fathers legacy. Raised my sisters and i as a single mother herself, and decided to come back to somalia at the height of the conflict. And was my move from her, i saw that you know, you can be anything and anything you want to anything and everything you want to be as a woman, thats not a message to women and girls often here in somalia. So under her visionary leadership, i also was empowered, encouraged, sometimes a challenge to do more following in her mothers footsteps threw herself into organizing money looking after for my child soldiers and now also women and young girls who have suffered abuse. We started the 1st wave Crisis Center as a result of the rampant rights abuse. Theyre happy girls. We provide services for children and youth that are being coopted by armed groups and organizations and another human rights directly is the freedom to life and safety and determination. As well too, but a job like this isnt for the faint hearted the father was killed in 1906. Then almost a year ago, her older sister was murdered. The painful experience led to question everything. But she ultimately decided to stay. We share the same risks of the beneficiaries that were supposed to or were trying to support. And you know, i think the reality that conflicts often protract because people are waiting for things to get better. And thats why i think we have been in war for 30 years. You know . Pardon the pun, but pull the trigger on just starting the work. And thats exactly what did the 29 year old reported on the situation in our home country to the United NationsSecurity Council . She knows exactly how to use social media to draw attention. We are hyper connected. Everyone is online also with the narrative. And thats something im very proud to also be a part of by creating opportunity space and resources for young people to actually tell their own story. Now more and more stories are being heard. Its important to show a different image of somalia, not just chaos and destruction. For the past decade. Work focused on emergency aid, but now theres much more to it. I work has been transitioning a lot from purely Service Delivery where we respond to violations, to abuse, to trauma and has grown into a space. Now were preventing these issues from happening, whether its through a change, whether its through empowering and educating communities to end the cycle of harmful traditional pieces, whether its through working with government to put in place legislation or wants to fundamentally change society. And she believes she can do it with some obvious use by her side. And this remarkable woman is right here with me in the studio in what a man, welcome to the 77 percent. Thank you very much for having me. So you are here in germany because you just received the german africa prize in berlin. Congratulation. Thank you very much for 300 feel when you heard the news. So very excited. Its a big honor, a big privilege, as well, to be recognized amongst 700000000 young people that are in there under the age of 30, in africa to be able to represent. And the issues that we work on to be a recipient of the ward handed over by the minister of foreign affairs. Those all quite special. You do . Yoga you offer ocean therapy, you offer a book ational training to young people there. You also work with victims of the war with the rape survivors also with form of child soldiers. So all these different initiatives, or what is the big vision driving them . All the big vision really is to create a peaceful coexistence. And we believe that in order to support and facilitate the transition of conflict in somalia, a concept that has for attractive for my whole life, 30 years, we need to look at peace building from a triple nexus approach, humanitarian aid, peace building, but also development. We want to teach people how to be act, peace within, and thats why we focus on Mental Health and looking at alternative techniques to be able to facilitate that process, whether its yoga, football, surfing, and then also looking at the underlying grievances of conflict. And we know that young people, because of poverty, unemployment are often recruited into armed groups because of that. So we try to both create the enabling and progressive environment for young people to not just survive in somalia but to thrive. And the whole issue of peace is something that one might see runs within your family. Your father was a very famous peace activist. Your mother was also very active as a social worker and a social activist as well. Tell me how this has shaped you and the work that you do. Why parents are both are denting rights activists and somalia. And my father to this day is considered a small father of peace. He had a very famous slogan called drop the gun, pick up the pen and was almost larger than life. He had logs who were pastel colored shorts and really just was providing very Simplistic Solutions to old issues. So he had a Football Team in mogadishu before he unfortunately, was killed, which brought together young people that were being coopted by the wards. And that were opposing factions on both sides. And before people knew, they started playing at 6, rather they started trading together into marrying. And something as simple as football was a solution that he gave birth to. He was so effective in his work that unfortunately he was killed for the work that he was doing. And that also led my mother to flee somalia with my sisters. And i so that mr. And i could have an opportunity for refuge and safety like millions of others that had to leave somalia because of the war. We went through the traditional refugee route and then got asylum in canada. In 2010, i decided to return back to somalia, but my parents activism and the torch of activism, if you will, was one that naturally was passed down to me and to my sisters as well. It wasnt a journey that was prescribe, honest, but even throughout our upbringing in canada, we always knew that we had a bigger purpose back home. And im sure that a lot of people are happy that you have really followed that dream of your father, that you are carrying it on and doing all the work that you are doing in somalia because youre really impacting the lives of many people, especially women. And not just the women, but also the lives of many children as you we will see in one of your most recent projects. You can take a look there and mommy hopes and dreams. And thats for helping to inspire giving bearings that havent abandoned the streets, an opportunity for future, a safe space where they can be nurtured, where they have the care and support that they need and an opportunity to grow children that we have had referrals from hospitals of women that have abandoned their babies after giving birth in hospitals. And we also give shelter to women that have unwanted pregnancies with the hope that they will not undergo unsafe abortions, but rather having a safe so that that child can have a future such cute babies that we saw there. So tell me how does the word caring for these little ones . How does it relate to the peace work that you do in somalia . I mean its 100 percent connected. These are children. The youngest baby that we have is less than 3 months old, and we constantly receive new children and all the children you saw in that clip are ones that are banded in the street. In somalia, the conversation of Sexual Reproductive Health rights is not one thats even begun. And women are often able to hide and watch and pregnancies on children conceived either through sex out of wedlock, or through rape as well to through big clothing that we were culturally and religiously. But then just throw the baby away in the middle of the street. And we receive all the children i saw in this orphanage, through referrals from community members, through partnerships that we have with Health Care Workers and police. And its, its a very terrible issue, but this is connected to our peace work because these children that are this young are also be born into war. And what we are providing at the most basic is a shelter for them. Mothers who care for them and sewed, and thats all the babies need right now, but we also need to prepare them vironment in which theyre supposed to evolve and grow. So that the next generation, or even in their childhood, they wont have to continuously live in armed conflict. And you not only care for, for the youngest in the society, but also you Work Together with us and you say that you believe that you can change social norms if you Work Together with the young people in somalia, what potential do you see in the young people, some of you. Absolutely. I mean our population 78 percent is under the age of 30, of that 44 percent is under the age of 15. And they have only ever known war 30 years of conflict to so its simple math. We know that if we want to create a paradigm shift of a positive trajectory in somalia, we need to invest in the majority and majority young people. So we work with those are the most Vulnerable Society survivors of sexual violence. Children and young people that have joined armed groups and are now we building reclaim their lives. But were also working with the overwhelming majority of young people that have not been victims of conflict, but are in these conditions have never left and trying to be part of the change. So i believe in cultivating leadership and providing skills, opportunities for creative platforms and cultivating leadership as well too. So young people can actually be part of the transition of leadership in the country. Thank you so much. Thank you for showing us that we young people actually need to be the change that we want to see in our societies and all the best for the work that you continue doing in somalia. Thanks so much for being here very much. And now we move on to another woman who was also decided to relocate back to the continent. And shes the kind of person that you want as a friend because its always happy hour where she is. I mean, mistreated, working on it from a news born in germany grew up in probably growing up in poland. Who do you mean after kind of going through the makes you feel like an african i was not like sure. Thats right. You have 2 best friends. So thats why my, there was a point, ive come to know where youre from your background, which you are not to touch to us through an african in 2000 is replies, you know what . Im biased. I just think its been going to go on and we got to our crowd and the men will go through what they actually feel if you come out of the plane in the 1st of the haitians with machines like, oh, i was from coming here to seen whats gone, that is but im not coming back here tonight. Poland is enough for me. So maybe our partner and he tried to call me when i trace it come to ghana, come and see what you can do in your best marketing, which is out here because he was born in london. But he was already living here for a few years. So he thought that there was more opportunities out here for me then de mint in poland to invest in 95 year old. So i actually could come and buy and came to ghana and that was expose me and it was number 10 for me. Im talking to people that live here who, where doing things for themselves, no matter how did you start a business here, how the wild, wild dogs with a friend of mine went to nigeria and when 20 men to Interest Research on something they do not make whats next i went to this event and those needing time to bond speaks in dreams and it was so poor. I know youve got the goods to ring for. So i think this is something to look into it. So i did the research and up on a school in a white car, its went out for a month into what was called the practice of props and actually went very well. And that was it for me. I never had a week in the games. And i dont think an outrage in my inbox of the frequency i was given the sort of the night. Everybody wants to be a doctor. I want the walls to be enjoying everybody wants to sort out from the model to see who are good up in holland. Wanted to jump in holland different sugata come in different postures, mixed drinks light outside i think is the best morning with that. And just mixing drinks to get you can actually make a living out of it live in some ways im drinking money and i dont think yet how to make me be a doctor as makes me more an enemy. But i, whatever, ill make it is more than enough for an average in down in the next 45 to 10 years. I really want to hold my own body like a place whereby, you know, you can come in for things to new, can come into my dream before you go out. To my advice to young people out there in europe that want to move back to africa. Its going to be accountable, you give everything is going to everything is in order, and its not hectic. Im sitting here, but this woman, which is out here for us. We can make africa better. We can make donna, the place that people want to come and live like europe has already done. Its already there it is. The place is the country now. So if you know you can just come back and make insulting you and if you need the perfect card to take you to one of those fancy cocktail parties, then a fan does. He is your guy. His passion is the turn old rusty cars into shiny. I catchers the garage where he pins those old rides is located in nigerias mega city lagos. And thats where our reporter, lets go for a cruise in lagos. Is on this way to see specialty 10 grueling racks, 25 classics vintage. And therefore, vision is just what we do with the next project on this is a bit to 65 more days 1500 also. So theres been walked on, were trying to match it with this 1902 b. M. W. Its by the model. Its highly sought and he wants to restore it to its finest. Not easy because something from a news you dont even have access to. So i sent you house on who you want to find in the times changed engines. Yes. Hosted and electrics my own creative ability and push it to make it totally different from what ive been in existence. Because if you dont stand out, theres no trying for you. Its fun especially asked a boy to date this made over 20 vintage cars and change over 50 young people. Most of the guys who come to learn his profession are from bonaire. Probably. Im gonna then very few nigerians who are dedicated to his job. So weve turned over 50 boys from the sober company. When we fetishise a farms jams himself for 7000. 00 us dollars. He also runs his vintage vehicles to the Entertainment Industry to make more money. Getting a cow republish is costing me a 1000500. 00. There are about enough about i get we do shoots for some ca prop for videos which some good money and im covering up from the video aspect of it, but its my passion. So i think i do. Ive joined the new word for mind, of course on what a brand. So after 3 months, its fine. If you ready for it to strike step on it. I have to admit that vintage cars and not really my thing, but i wouldnt say no to surfing. I love being in the water and im sure that with some practice, ill become as good as these guys right here. They are from durban, south africa, and they are taking us on a tour. They have beloved city, as it turns out suburban is a paradise for surfers. My name is i, my name is alvin. And were about to show you around our beautiful city, especially ill favorite place, the beachfront known as the golden mile. A perfect swell and a year round. Warm ocean make africas surfing capital alvan touchy and like to catch an Early Morning wait before shooting off to work. The 2 lifeguards call the 8 kilometers of beach and promenade their office. But today is their day off and the 2 friends can show was around for serious surfers, there is no way around the golden mile. This is basically like the breeding ground. When you make your name in the surfing industry, this is where you step it up with the big boys. And the want to and this is where you seen and known with its beaches theme parks and i clubs, promenade feels more like a big playground. Not only for surface, the skate park at the bay of plenty attracts young people from all over the city. And its hoped to have to south africas skating nobility. Our 2 lifeguards are no strangers here into a sport that screams and once again see the old kong and flying and going to means different people and going to name different cultures because it is easily accessible, free for everyone and safe. The promenade is arguably one of south africas most inclusive public spaces. Being able to skate and liberty is also helping to boost the confidence of young talents. It gives me a sense of freedom makes me feel like i can do anything i can doing to the top of my mind, and im just leaving myself skating, makes hungry. And so we are off to the city to check out durban street cuisine. Calvin takes us to his neighborhood, away promises the best bunny chowing, top on a half a loaf of bread filled with hot curry. This hugely popular dish originates from 19th century indian immigrants basically, in durban, we have a big thing to stand. Does hold these amazing foods, these amazing countries. Maybe we are nice. So by far, it makes sense if some local experience with a different culture, a good while out of and went to swim school. When he was a kid, got smacked. If his parents found him anywhere near the ocean, his parents who could not swim with terrified, he would drown. Still today, many children never learn how to swim. Let alone serve. To change that alvin and kaya found, its a song zulu for together to teach children to swim and ride the waves like pros, alvin believes the ocean can teach them important life skills. It gives them that stoke, it gives them that feeling that there is something true to life and its a, its a sport. You know, you got to love what you do. And thats what youre trying to teach. The kids with more than 50 kids, taking thought alvin hope to raise the next generation of job and throw sofas. Not without merit. Some of their protests days, already competing in professional tournament, keeping up this citys fame. And that brings us to the end of todays show.
