Florian Wegenstein
Name: Florian Wegenstein
Nickname: Flaviano
Date of birth: 22.10.1965
At Delta Cultura since: 2002 (Co-founder)
Tasks at Delta Cultura: Projectmanager of the Child- and Youthcenter Tarrafal
About me: I live in Tarrafal, the native village of Marisa my wife, since 2002. Before we lived together in Vienna for four years. We have two daughters, Natalina and Idalena, together and my wife has two sons, Joao Claudio and Elton.
We all live together in a rented house in the center of Tarrafal. We also have a restaurant/bar which we rent. As Marisa and myself are working to full capacity for Delta Cultura Cabo Verde we rent the bar out or put a manager in charge.
I acquired my education through my parents’ house, different public schools and through many years of round the world trips. My process of learning and developing has not stopped till today!
About Delta Cultura: The climate, the sea, the slower way of life made me move to Tarrafal. Poverty and the striking deficiency of possibilities for a worthwhile art of life, of which most children and adolescentes suffer in Tarrafal, made me found Delta Cultura Cabo Verde and build and manage the Child- and Youthcenter Tarrafal.
The years of intensive confrontation and dispute with poverty and lack of perspectives of the mayority of the adolescentes of Tarrafal, made me try to understand this complex of problems in a global way too. One thing all the attempts of explanation and solutions have in common: they proof that poverty is man-made and therefor can be eliminated by human beings as well. This knowledge again and again gives me the power to continue our work through all the difficulties. This knowledge in a way obigates me. I don’t get tired to try to give the adolescentes an understanding of this knowledge and understanding.
