Ivory Coast’s National Higher Institute of Arts and Cultural Action is holding a series of meetings with artistic and academic institutions in Tétouan, Morocco. Discussions cover partnerships, student and teacher mobility, as well as research and artistic creation, according to Fratmat.info.
The director general of the National Higher Institute of Arts and Cultural Action (Insaac) of Ivory Coast, Siaka Ouattara, has held discussions in Morocco with several artistic and academic institutions to develop partnerships, mobility and educational exchanges. A working session notably brought together the Ivorian delegation and representatives of the École supérieure d’art et design de Saint-Étienne in France, Fraternité Matin reports.
The discussions cover student and teacher mobility, academic and educational exchanges, as well as strengthening research and artistic creation. Siaka Ouattara also met Ouazzani, former director of the Institut national des beaux-arts de Tétouan, to examine possible areas of cooperation, according to Fraternité Matin.
The meetings are taking place on the sidelines of the 17th Tétouan Biennale in Morocco, which Insaac is using to expand contacts with arts education institutions and members of the academic community. The initiative is part of the strategy of Ivorian Minister of Culture and Francophonie Françoise Remarck, who regards international cooperation and skills development as pillars of Ivory Coast’s cultural influence, Fraternité Matin reports.
