The second 10-day arts advocacy and network-building training
programme took place in Cameroon from 10-20 April 2010. There
were representatives from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal,
Swaziland, Ghana, Uganda, Zambia. It was an excellent group of
people with strong bonds being forged across regions and language
divides, with sound training facilitated by the primary tutors Nicky du
Plessis and Avril Joffe and clear ideas about how to proceed in
building in-country networks. View winter school pictures
