The cultural association Koumakan was founded in Conakry in 2017 to promote creativity as a driving force for development. Koumakan is one of Guinea’s most dynamic cultural associations, with over 10 years of experience in the cultural sector!
The project aims to give Guinean school pupils a grounding in their culture by helping them learn about and practise storytelling. It raises awareness among teachers about the role of storytelling in the transmission of culture and values, and gives pupils a greater understanding of Guinea’s oral tradition, as well as a renewed interest in reading.
Wasséxo kplonnou, ou Contons les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD)
The Katoulati cultural association contributes to the growth of the creative economy and to human and sustainable development through theatre and storytelling. It is involved in artistic production and supports creations in production to entertain, educate and raise awareness.
The project "Wasséxo kplonnou, or Let's talk about SDO's" will use storytelling, slam and song to promote the objectives of sustainable development. The 10 artists selected for this mission will benefit from masterclasses and workshops to adapt traditional tales or produce new ones on the urgency and best practices of sustainable development. This production will result in a 5-show residency, 140 performances and podcast recordings.
