Historically, Senegalese people have had a strong spirit of mobility and wanderlust. These days, the country offers few job opportunities. The desire to go abroad is tempting. Many young Senegalese ask themselves, 'Should I stay, or should I go?'. 

​​

Together with journalist Janine Meijer and a grant from Fonds Pascal Decroos, we went to Senegal to conduct research on the field.

May European and Belgian funds for development supporting agricultural projects be the answer to the current trend of migration of young Senegalese to Europe?

 

The project was published in different media because of the political as well as the artistic character of the series: De Standaard newspaper, Apache, Shoot magazine.

The images shown here were taken during a visit to the organization Symbiose in Nioro du Rip, whose project is supported by the Belgian NGO Broederlijk Delen.
