Korè Cultural Center

Created in February 2011 by Mamou Daffé and his team, the Kôrè Cultural Center is dedicated to the promotion and development of arts and culture, Art and Education, artistic production and dissemination, as well as ‘for research via its Kôrè resource center and media library.

It is also dedicated to training entrepreneurs and young artists from Mali, Africa and elsewhere through its incubation program called “Kôrè-Qualité” in partnership with the Kôrè Institute of Arts and Métiers (IKAM).

The Kôrè Cultural Center constitutes a reference center in Arts and Education in Mali and Africa meeting the expectations of artists and cultural operators by offering them opportunities for specialization and professionalization in the professions of culture, organization and management of cultural actions.

The CCK essentially operates within the framework of the following five components:

  • Arts & Education
  • Resource Center
  • Production and Dissemination of artistic and cultural artworks
  • Art and WASH
  • Cultural patrimony

 

Current and future projects of the Kôrè Cultural Centre

Current projects are derived from our various components:

  • The Maaya and Citizenship program is built around the Arts & Maaya for Social Change – AMCS concept, and is linked to the “Art and Education” component of the Kôrè Cultural Center (CCK) which implements citizen building actions through citizenship education, artistic-pedagogical workshops on storytelling, theatre, bogolan and painting.
  • The Youth Environment and Creativity – JEC project, from the “Art and Education” component of the Kôrè Cultural Centre (CCK), is a project that aims to activate awareness and engage in behavioral change among children and young people in order to significantly reduce the negative impact of humans on the environment, in connection with local realities and consistent with our Maaya values.
  • The Maaya Ni BESEYA and Muso Ni Kalan projects are promising projects that await fruitful partnerships for their implementation.
