Item Description
This palaver tree is a focal point of traditional African communities, symbolizing the power of sitting and talking to bring about village consensus. Entire communities or just small groups gather underneath the welcoming branches to find a solution in which no one loses and all feel empowered. Though life in Africa is often hot and difficult, this quiet moment in the shade is a time-honored tradition where constructive debate is encouraged and important decisions are made for the future of community life.
L' arbre à palabre est une coutume de rencontre et de création ou de maintien de lien social. Elle apparaît comme une véritable institution sociale à laquelle participe toute la population ou une partie de la communauté d’un village. Cette coutume permet également de régler un contentieux sans que les protagonistes ne soient lésés. En Afrique, on se réunit au pied de l’arbre à palabre, généralement le baobab, pour discuter des décisions importantes à prendre pour l’avenir d’une communauté.
