Fatshimetrie, the leading cultural media in Kinshasa, announces an innovative initiative for young literary and cultural actors. On November 2 and 9, a training workshop dedicated to the management of cultural associations will take place, organized by the Association of Young Writers of Congo (AJECO). This training aims to strengthen the skills of young participants in the effective management of their structures and the strategic planning of their cultural projects.
In a Congolese cultural landscape in full effervescence, it is essential for young writers to develop not only their artistic talent, but also their entrepreneurial skills in the cultural field. The objective is to support them in the organization and legalization of their associations, as well as in the optimization of their communication to find partnerships and funding.
Grâce Bilola, president of AJECO, underlines the importance of this approach: “Writing is good, but it is crucial to know how to value this passion and make it a source of sustainable income. »
Participants will have the opportunity to interact with renowned speakers, such as Goretti Kat, Richard Ali and Myra Dunoyer, who will share their expertise on the management of literary institutions. The objective is to raise awareness among these young writers of the importance of rigorous management to guarantee their financial autonomy and their long-term development.
AJECO, founded in 2011, plays a central role in promoting young literary talents in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through this workshop, the association strengthens its commitment to the new generation of writers and contributes to structuring the Congolese cultural landscape. The recent election of a new committee led by Grâce Bilola demonstrates the association’s desire to remain as close as possible to the aspirations of junior writers.
As Congolese literature continues to gain visibility on the international scene, this workshop on the management of cultural associations appears to be a crucial step in supporting young writers in their journey. By providing them with the tools needed to effectively manage their structures, AJECO actively participates in the emergence of a promising future for Congolese literature.
Registration for this workshop is open to all young literary talents wishing to develop their skills in the management and structuring of their associations. A golden opportunity to contribute to writing together a new page of the Congolese cultural scene.
Fatshimetrie will continue to closely follow the evolution of this workshop and to highlight the inspiring initiatives of Congolese cultural actors. Stay connected to not miss any cultural news in Kinshasa and beyond.
