First training session at the Gondwana Comedy School

For several years now, Mamane has been involved in numerous projects in Africa, driven by his ambition to identify, bring together, mentor, and support talented individuals.

"We are forming a family within which African comedians can become professionals, so that their art can become an economy that is profitable and creates jobs, as it does elsewhere in the world, such as in music and soccer," Mamane said at the opening of the first Gondwana Club in Abidjan.

Buoyed by this momentum, the comedian announced a few days ago the start of the first training session at the Gondwana Comedy School at the French Institute in Abidjan. A total of 10 students will be able to benefit from this training, which will focus on the following topics: writing and acting techniques, production, copyright, and the economics of entertainment and audiovisual media. 

It should also be noted that comedian Mamane laid the foundation stone for his future School of Comedy and Arts (ECA) in Niamey on March 16, 2021.

This project is close to his heart, as he aims to bring out the continent's talent through training in comedy and the arts. This new school will create job opportunities and offer new horizons for young people in the Sahel region, which is marked by numerous geopolitical challenges.
