Out of around 100 applications received, ten young local talents were selected by the group to receive acting training from February 5 to 8. For the occasion, Beninese director and actor Sylvestre Amoussou, winner of the FESPACO award in 2017, trained the young candidates in the acting profession by sharing his experience, knowledge, and skills.
Benin is the third country to benefit from such an initiative. It should be noted that the Canal+ group launched these training courses in Abidjan with "L'Afrique au Féminin" in partnership with Galaxie Africa.
