“Our goal is to encourage young people to get involved in the art world. We will provide them with all the necessary tools to capitalize on their culture and their talent,” underlines the manager within Anac. The training runs until March 22 and is offered free of charge to Anac members.
“We aspire to inspire young people to embrace their cultural heritage. This training will offer them the essential contacts and knowledge to showcase our culture through their talents,” adds the Minister of Communication and Culture, Augustin Andriamananoro.
