Cultural Festival
Introduction Our Forthcoming Cultural Festival:
We are excited to share details about our forthcoming cultural project, “Cultural Renaissence: Community Cultural Empowerment Initiative Tagged IDENTITY 1ST” that recognizes the important role that culture plays in a people’s identity. This is about “Telling Africa’s True Story Through Culture”, mobilizing and unifying people around common ideals. This initiative aims to promote and harness diverse cultures for peaceful coexistence, leverage cultural activities, cultural values to promote economic development and perhaps reduce insecurity within local communities.
By harnessing the rich cultural heritage of the three major tribes in Nigeria—Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba in Nigeria, creativity, the Arts as Pedals for Building the Society We Want, this project seeks to empower community members, stimulate economic growth, foster social cohesion and stability and most importantly paint our true identity ourselves.
Key components of CCEI include:
- Annual Cultural Festivals:
- Culture Reality shows:
- Cultural Entrepreneurship Workshops:
- Cultural Tourism Promotion: Through our networks, platforms, etc.
- Youth Cultural Exchange Programs.
- Training on Conflict Resolution through Cultural Dialogue.
