Chad is currently going through a transitional phase. The spaces available to civil society to deal constructively with this situation are limited, and the reference that would enable positive identification with the country’s cultural diversity are lacking.
The primary project’s objective is to ensure that young people, as “agents of change”, play a positive role in this transitional phase and in preventing violent conflict, while contributing to social cohesion through various forms of cultural expression. Capacity-building combined with financial support will help to strengthen cultural centres and other event spaces in their role as meeting places, to increase the quantity and quality of artistic production on important subjects to society, and to extend and diversify the target audience.
