WAMDE - Village Artistique des Enfants du Theatre - is a centre where children from poor backgrounds learn music, dance, and theatre. They have toured to France, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, holding workshops for local children.

"What we want to show to European children is another face of African children, not the face of war or drought or famine. We have a saying, in Burkina Faso, that if you are open to your neighbour, you can bear differences more easily."
Mama Kouyate, WAMDE founder and organiser
