Femmes en création
The Kadam-Kadam Association is active in the artistic and cultural, social and educational fields, and at times also in the health sector. Its mission is to contribute to the promotion of culture as a human right and a factor in the socio-economic development of children in Togo and Africa.
Initiated in response to the absence of women in the arts, the "Femmes en création" project is a platform for training, research, creation and promotion in the dramatic arts for 6 female actors, 3 female visual artists/scenographers and 6 female administrators. Following a diagnosis of the local situation, the project will work to overcome obstacles to the continuity of the careers of women artists, and then work towards their professionalisation.
La Fabrique des Femmes du Mandé
Faced with the difficulties and precariousness of African cultural stakeholders, and in particular women artists, as well as women in rural communities, Côté Cour works to promote and put arts and crafts at the service of local development, by increasing women's production capacities and distribution possibilities.
"La Fabrique des Femmes du Mandé" is a vocational training project in rural areas structured around five arts and crafts workshops: Bogolan dyeing, sewing, organic soap making, recycling and digital technology. It aims to provide fifty Malian women with skills in the creation and distribution of their products, with a view to their economic empowerment and the creation of an environment conducive to the education of girls.
Le Bus culturel pour l'accès au musée pour tous!
The Fondation Zinsou is a real springboard for the popular distribution and universal recognition of contemporary African art, and also works to ensure that cultural activities are accessible and free of charge. Active for more than 17 years, it has been able to establish solid partnerships with numerous structures and to rise to the forefront of the Beninese cultural scene.
The project proposes to support contemporary artistic creation by promoting free cultural visits. This accessibility approach is already in place in the city of Ouidah where the museum is located. In this project, the aim is to extend the area covered and to reach out to distant audiences with a means of transport that is also already available: the Bus Culturel. The latter will travel up to 50 km around Ouidah to take children to the museum and allow them to participate in educational workshops designed as part of the cultural mediation.
CLAPE.EBURNIE.21- 24
Jardin d'Afrique Groupe is first and foremost an audiovisual production company specialising in the promotion of local cinema as a vehicle for social peace. Through its productions and caravans, it raises public awareness of national and international themes in the fight against the de-schooling of girls, drugs in schools, inter-community conflicts, etc.
CLAPE.EBURNIE is the abbreviation for "Cinema and Literature in Action for Peace and Development in Eburnia", a mobile socio-educational project that promotes cinema for the development of young pupils and students. Through screenings and debates of the feature film "Kamissa" and the creation of a platform, the aim of the three-year CLAPE.EBURNIE.21-23 touring programme is to engage the whole of Ivorian society in the fight against pregnancy among young pupils and students, which is often the cause of school drop-out.
Digitoonz Afrika
Since 2015, the creative and cultural label Kanarimagik has been producing content to raise awareness, inform and transmit knowledge, using drawings, comics, animated videos and other fun media, in paper or digital format, for young people (boys and girls aged 5 to 18), their families and educational mediators (parents, teachers, etc.).
"Digitoonz Afrika" has the singular ambition of making Senegalese comics known in Africa and in the world via a "Webtoon" platform entirely dedicated to the promotion of these digital works. This project will also enable a hundred or so enthusiasts and professionals from the sector to make themselves known and benefit from comprehensive training on the creation and production of comics (scriptwriting, storyboard development, production of sets and characters, creating vignettes, etc.).
Aw Djigui
Created in 2014, Street Movie encourages access to culture for vulnerable populations, in a commitment to equal opportunities and poverty reduction. Originally created to reduce inequalities through the promotion of street cinema, today the association has developed around the promotion of Malian culture in all its diversity.
"Aw Djigui" is a project to support the development of a local cultural dynamic initiated by the creation of the "Journées Culturelles" of the Street Movie association. Set up in the 1008 Logements district (on the outskirts of Bamako), it aims to support local initiatives, promote traditional crafts, encourage entrepreneurship and vocational training, particularly for young women, in order to make them financially independent.
Foto School
Yamarou Photo is an association of photographers that is helping to consolidate Bamako's position as the capital of African photography, through training and the democratisation of this artistic practice among general public. It aims to create a space for dialogue between young people around photography and to build a framework for meetings between national and international photographers.
"Foto School" is an image education project aimed at schoolchildren. In line with the government's policy of promoting art in schools and colleges, the project aims to strengthen the skills of educational stakeholders (teachers, school administrators, educators, etc.) in visual arts teaching techniques, and to develop image culture and citizenship among young people.
Graine d’espoir
CNA Burkina is part of CNA Africa, a network of associations present in 10 countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Mali, Niger, Senegal and France). Its motto is: "Cinema for all, cinema everywhere. "The CNA specialises in communication for behavioural change, focusing on culture as a vehicle for sustainable development.
In addition to training children from underprivileged areas of Ouagadougou in the techniques of shooting animated films, the CNA will create a framework for moving image training and education. Accompanied by Slama Cinéma, a Belgian structure with expertise in training, the "Graine d'espoir" project also plans to train instructors. The short films produced will reflect the children's context and cultural references. They will then be shown during 50 screenings and debates.
Inno – Culture
While TIBI is an NGO is committed to training and artistic creations for the benefit of artists with disabilities, it also participates in international cultural events. Education, performing arts and community development are its main areas of intervention.
"Initiation à l'Innovation Culturelle, Linguistique et d'Ecriture chez la jeune fille dans la région Kara" (Initiation to Cultural, Linguistic and Writing Innovation for Young Girls in the Kara Region) aims to safeguard and enhance the endogenous practices of the peoples of Northern Togo through the promotion of young girls. 100 young women under 25 years of age will thus be able to develop their cultural skills (traditional dances, etc.). They will be interested in their mother tongue (its history and values) and will sharpen their critical thinking skills during an essay competition. The resulting document will be broadcast on YouTube, as will the 50 stories told in their mother tongue and translated into French and English.
L’Afrique en Conte
The Association Des Livres Pour Tous (DLPT), created in 2008 in Paris by Marguerite Abouet, author of the successful comic strip "Aya de Yopougon", has as its main objective to make books more accessible to young people by creating libraries in neighbourhoods and villages in Africa.
"L'Afrique en conte" is an innovative project aimed at collecting, producing and broadcasting radio plays based on heritage tales and contemporary imagination. The aim is to produce a catalogue of programmes, audio books and podcasts for libraries, schools, cultural centres and radio stations in Côte d'Ivoire and elsewhere. The creation of this catalogue is made possible thanks to the "Radiobox", a portable mobile studio set up in libraries in Abidjan, and to the training of librarians in its use.
