The meeting aimed to strengthen the skills of communication students and promote careers in visual communication.
This edition was held under the theme “Images in the service of corporate communication: enhancing, convincing and engaging”. The chairman of the organising committee, Gueba Hicham Sidibé, explained that the focus this year was on practice: “It is about moving further towards training focused on photography, videography and printing on media such as caps and T-shirts.”
Gueba Hicham Sidibé presented the forum as a platform for networking: “We want to create a network of collaboration between students and professionals and enable these students to train better, but also give them opportunities for internships and jobs.” He called on professionals in the sector to welcome learners: “The students who come are not your enemies, but actors who come to learn and further develop our sector.”
The meeting brought together several students, teachers and communication sector stakeholders who came to share their experiences and perspectives for the future.
