Our Values

Our Philosophy

The values of Centre Issamba Québec form the foundation of our commitment. They reflect a deep vision where cultural heritage, knowledge transmission, and mutual recognition create the pillars of a harmonious and inclusive society.

Our approach is based on the belief that culture is a vital driver of transformation and personal and collective growth. We believe in the authentic transmission of knowledge and traditions, respecting past generations while building a future where diverse heritages complement and enrich each other.

We value learning, collective memory, and artistic expression as inseparable elements of our identity. By cultivating these principles, we strive to create a space where everyone can recognize themselves, share, and grow through connections with others.

Every action at Centre Issamba Québec aims to create a lasting and meaningful impact. We work to showcase African and Afro-descendant cultures while strengthening their integration and recognition in Quebec society. Our events, workshops, and dialogue spaces are designed to encourage understanding, appreciation, and the transmission of this unique heritage.

Our Impact

Communauté et culture africaine

Through our artistic and educational initiatives, we raise public awareness of the cultural and historical contributions of Afro-descendants. By highlighting the stories and talents of the community, we contribute to a richer and more inclusive collective imagination. Our programs also serve as a springboard for younger generations, offering them learning and expression opportunities.

By enhancing the visibility of Afro-descendant artists, artisans, and intellectuals, we aim to break stereotypes and promote a more accurate and nuanced perception of African realities. We believe in the power of arts and culture as tools for awareness and dialogue, capable of uniting and inspiring positive change.

Centre Issamba Québec is also a catalyst for collaborations and partnerships, allowing various organizations and institutions to work together to develop meaningful projects. By fostering these synergies, we amplify the impact of our actions and extend our reach to different audiences.

Our commitment is rooted in the belief that an inclusive society that respects cultural diversity is a stronger society. Thus, we work every day to create an environment where every culture finds its place and contributes to collective enrichment.
