2023 African Culture Fund (ACF) Academy Programme (Funded)

Applications for the African Culture Fund (ACF) Academy Programme 2023 are now open. The African Culture Fund is launching this call for applications, in partnership with the Institut Kôrè des Arts et Métiers (IKAM Ségou), with a view to selecting 16 female artists and cultural entrepreneurs from West Africa and Central Africa to take part in a Bootcamp #3 scheduled in Ségou from March 2023.

This call aims to contribute to strengthening the leadership and competitiveness of 16 female artists and cultural entrepreneurs from West and Central Africa through the organization of a professional training camp including capacities in cultural management, leadership, personal branding, and emotional intelligence (which will be followed by a mechanism of mentoring and coaching for one year).

Beneficiaries of the ACF Academy programme are certified by the Institut Kôrè Institut des Arts et Métiers (IKAM) of Mali. To this end, participants will benefit from a Professional Aptitude Certificate called Kôrè–Qualité at the end of the ACF Academy training, providing them with the skills necessary for the professionalization of their profession.
