The Goethe-Institut e.V. initiates the EU funded project AFRICA-EUROPE PARTNERSHIPS FOR CULTURE: WEST AFRICA (2025-2028). This West Africa component of the Africa-Europe Partnerships for Culture will promote cultural integration and dialogue between 15 West African countries and between these countries and the European Union.
The West African cultural scene is one of the most creative and dynamic in the world, however, remains fragmented along national borders. In order to achieve significant and visible impact, this project will focus particularly on the West African festivals sector, supporting increased
internationalisation of the sector’s organisations, staff, and artists. The West Africa-Europe Partnership for Culture will support six thematic and transnational festival clusters to develop sustainable international cooperation amongst each cluster’s festivals.
