It was an intensive program that engaged all stakeholders over five days in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The training focused on four key areas: individual instrumental technique and teaching tools, instrumental pedagogy through orchestral practice, orchestral arrangement, and conducting. 

This skills enhancement project benefited 29 local teachers and 78 students, working on both classical music and pieces from Cameroon’s heritage. To conclude this vibrant collaboration and give it the recognition it deserved, a final performance was held at the National Museum of Yaoundé. 

The Institut français and the City of Paris, through their proactive support, made this project possible. Following a multi-stakeholder approach, the initiative strengthens cooperation with Francophone Africa, particularly with Yaoundé—a city with which Paris shares a close friendship. It also supports local actors who work towards cultural democratization and social cohesion through music education.
