Cultural Event
The Igbo Cultural Society Austria has been celebrating New Yam Festival since 1996 in keeping with its culture and tradition as handed down to them by their ancestors.
"The New Yam celebration therefore, is a confirmation of the collective experience of Igbo cultural values marking the labours of our “heroes past and present”. It is also aimed to stimulate the consciousness of especially our young Austrian born Igbo and the host country into the appreciation of the patterns of Igbo-folk-life in agriculture worldview. It signifies that Ndi-Igbo understand their cultural diversity and cultural locus (loci) even in Diasporas, as their basic human right and relativity, and also as a mutual commission, commitment and communion to overcome prejudice and intolerance between different cultures."
