of knowledge and local know-how
relating to the art of crafts. The
main products obtained by local
craftsmen are traditional music
instruments, basketwork (baskets and
hand-held fans), tannery, wood
sculpture, and objects made out of
bronze. In addition to traditional
crafts, professional craftsmen are
also being promoted.

the Association encourages the
modernization of craft activities

Cultural services
The Wouol Association values the
preservation of the region’s
cultural diversity. Which is why it
organizes cultural activities and
has created a group of traditional
dance and music called the “troop
folklorique Yafie’’. Some members of
the association have also created a
theatrical group called the ‘’troupe
Cible ensemble de la population”,
which puts together plays meant to
inspire awareness on variety of
subjects such as the protection of
the environment, womens’ social
condition, and AIDS. |
