The story

Festival International PULAAKU in Ouagadougou

Festival International PULAAKU, held at CENASA in Ouagadougou, combines panels, conferences, exhibitions, and competitions with a live concert under a theme of using culture to build social cohesion and peace. Named after Pulaaku, the Fulani code of conduct and cultural identity, a recent edition also honored 1980s pioneers of cultural broadcasting in Dioula, Fulfulde, and Moore. It runs indoors over several days, typically between October and November.

At the Centre national des Arts du Spectacle et de l'Audiovisuel in Ouagadougou, panels on respectful dialogue across social media have shared a festival program with a live concert, exhibitions, and competitions under the banner of Festival International PULAAKU.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

PULAAKU stands out for treating a concert as only one piece of a multi-day program built mainly around talk: panels, conferences, training sessions, and exhibitions on cultural dialogue and social cohesion, held at a fixed indoor venue, CENASA, rather than an open-air stage

02

The mystery stays covered

A recent edition specifically honored pioneers who broadcast cohesion messages in national languages, including Fulfulde, from the 1980s onward, linking the festival's present concerns about social-media dialogue to a longer regional history of language-based public communication

03

The city starts moving

The name itself references Pulaaku, the Fulani ethical and cultural code, giving the festival a specific identity anchor distinct from a generic multicultural showcase
