A Swedish citizen, Mr Kidane is a psychologist specializing in mind-body relationships. He was involved in the Rwanda Genocide Reconciliation Committee and has expertise in cultural impacts on immigrants in general and African refugees in particular.
The Winnipeg Eritrean community invited Kidane to lead a week long session on "Knowing Your Inner Self" in English and Eritrean languages which was highly successful.
