Good Practice: Senegal Talents Campus – State-recognised training for sound engineers

Although the music sector in Senegal is a promising source of income, the musicians and sound engineers are mostly self-taught. The event and music sectors in the country lack vocational education and training offers. As a result, the quality of products or services within the music industry often lag behind international standards and professionals in the industry do not receive national recognition. In partnership with Senegal Talents Campus and Africulturban, the project Cultural and Creative Industries has established a three-to-six-month state-recognised training programme for sound engineers that supports creative talents to form a promising future.
