About Us
Who we are
We are ‘Clever Minds of Refugees’ (CMOR), a group of African refugees living in Europe founded in the year 2020 under Farafina Institute [link: https://farafina-institute.org/] in Germany.
Farafina Institute (FI) was founded in 2012 as a think-tank and research institute by a group of African and European scholars. FI conducts policy-relevant research and implements sustainable projects on issues of wellbeing and governance in Africa and Europe. FI positions itself as an international platform for reflection, dialogue, exchange, and action on Africa.
The term ‘Clever Minds of Refugees’ (CMOR) originated from a mindset of the marginalized refugees. Our team is a creative group of positive-thinking migrants who believe in utilizing talents and art as vessels to spreading the message of hope, resilience, and survival despite all prevailing circumstances of life. CMOR was created to raise awareness on the journey of refugees to Europe and the reality of the life of refugees in Europe. We do this through creative media such as music, movie, storytelling, motivational speech, dancing etc. We use these media to reach out to our young African brothers and sisters in Africa and the Diaspora and other souls living under the planet of earth. We want to represent refugees regardless of where they are from and improve the situation of the refugee community – we are one, there is no separation or difference between us, we work with everyone´s perspective.
