They will focus on art, culture, film, fashion, technology, marketing, music, hot topics, pop culture, human trafficking, health, Ebola, dance, professional sports clinics, etc.

Additionally, Cameroon has been selected to host the Africa’s Cup of Nations in 2019. So the whole world will be watching. It is our opportunity to shine and educate the world about Cameroon and Africa’s contribution to the foundation of society and the incredible creative and visionary people that make up the diaspora.

The reopening of the National Museum represents the launch of a national cultural initiative including international cultural exchange programs, a global concert to mobilize against Ebola (Stop Ebola: Global Concert), and the opening of the Cameroonian Office of Film to support local innovative filmmakers.

This initiative aims to create a moment of communion and empowerment among Cameroonian people by reviving the rich Cameroonian and African heritage that is influential on contemporary art and culture. With masterpieces of art and original artifacts, the National Museum is not only the conservatory for Cameroonian arts and culture, but also a new platform for education and a learning institute.

The National Museum of Cameroon has uncovered authenticated major history artifacts, some of them are over 50 years BC, and magnificent images of the Cameroonian culture. It offers education programs in culinary art, culture, fashion, film, technology, social networking, art, culture, entertainment and music and represents a platform for information exchange and interaction, providing the next and current generation with insight, awareness, and tools to become great African and global citizens.

HARTS INTL Foundation is a non-profit apolitical and independent organization that seeks to spark Africa’s rebirth by promoting and developing Cameroonian arts as well as culture. As a platform for the mobilization of artists, cultural operators, individual donors and philanthropic organizations, HARTS INTL Foundation identifies and secures funds and resources for projects or initiatives that further the development of Cameroon’s arts heritage. HARTS INTL Foundation ultimately honors the inherent value and contribution of African peoples to the diversity and richness of humanity.
