In Niaogho, Burkina Faso, Ambroise Bayili, the Secretary General of the Niaogho commune, opened a 48-hour cultural excursion for young people participating in a patriotic immersion program.
The event took place at the Doleema museum and aimed to connect the youth with their history and cultural heritage. Édouard Soubeiga, Director General of Global Services Company and sponsor of the event, supported the excursion, believing it would help young people understand their roots.
Matirou, the leader of the program participants, explained the museum visit supplemented the civic, patriotic, and disciplinary lessons the young people received during training in Tenkodogo. The program included three presentations covering Burkinabè history, the cultural heritage of the Bissa people, and the role of young people in local development. Soubeiga connected the initiative to the vision of Burkina Faso’s President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who is working towards greater national independence and self-sufficient development.
