To address the lack of training in audiovisual professions on the continent, Maison Junior is launching a call for applications in Togo for a ten-month training workshop on writing for animated series, fiction series, and TV magazines.
LA MAISON JUNIOR is an association that aims to train young writers from French-speaking Africa in three formats aimed at young people: animated series, fiction series, and TV magazines. Thanks to the support of the production company YOBO, created by Angela Aqueruburu and Jean-Luc Rabatel, and the Togolese Association of Animated Cinema (ATCA), in 2021 it will welcome around fifteen participants for 10 months, who will be trained in the development of audiovisual concepts and formats and in screenwriting.
The educational approach is "learning by doing": participants will be trained by working on real content that will then be produced for broadcast on prestigious media outlets such as Gulli, Canal+, and TV5Monde, which are current clients of the promoters of this initiative.
Maison Junior is supported by the Togolese Ministry of Culture, the French Institute of Togo, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and the company PM SA.
Applications are open until November 6, 2020: http://rse.nvinio.com/cloud/file/maison-junior-reminder-candidature/
