Description générale
The city of Kumba boasts a vibrant cultural life, rich in urban and gospel music concerts, traditional festivals (Bakossi, Mbonge), and sporting and cultural tournaments. However, this dynamism remains largely local and unstructured, lacking major events with national or international reach. This mission aims to capitalize on this potential by helping to formalize and develop these local initiatives. The objective is to transform existing cultural activities into structured events, such as an annual Kumba Festival or a Southwest Cultural Week, which can attract a wider audience and provide professional platforms for emerging talent.
Impacts/objectifs
1. Significantly increase the visibility of Kumba's culture nationally and internationally.
2. Create sustainable economic opportunities for local artists, artisans, and cultural communities.
3. Professionalize young talent and cultural actors through training and access to appropriate infrastructure and networks.
4. Strengthen the preservation and transmission of local cultural heritage through structured events.
5. Consolidate ties between the diaspora and Kumba's cultural initiatives.
