OVERALL THEME/BACKGROUND
Behind the stage of a festival, the broadcasting of a TV series or a visit to a museum, there are sectors whose structuring is essential for the cultural and creative industries (CCI) to develop and contribute to employment, growth, and the major challenges of the current social transitions. Culture is a common good, and access to it for everyone is one of AFD's priorities through its support for CCIs. This innovative training course, conducted in partnership with Senghor University and Trace Academia, makes it possible to inform a wide audience about the CCI professions and to raise awareness among professionals about the challenges of this sector.
