WHO WE ARE
Based in Ottawa, Ontario, the Manenete Collective is vibrant youth initiative under the Etio-Canadian Azawent Association. Launched in April 2024, this program is designed to connect Ethiopian and Eritrean youth with their cultural roots through fun, engaging, and educational experiences.
From exploring history and language to celebrating traditional food and clothing, Manenete dives into meaningful topics in ways that resonate with young people. Programming runs year-round, with special highlights and activities during the summer months.
We welcome youth from all backgrounds to join us in the learning, growing, and celebrating our rich heritage together.
Summer 2025 Manenete Program
Our Summer 2025 Manenete Program kicked off on July 12th, and it has been a wonderful two weeks packed with activities and fun times. It's truly inspiring to see our youth actively engaged, participating with enthusiasm, and building strong connections with one another. The energy, curiosity, and commitment they bring each day are a testament to the importance of creating space.
Here's a glimpse of the fun-filled activities, exciting events, and unforgettable moments from our summer 2025 program.
