Festival Kassoumaye – United for Culture, Youth, and Nature in Casamance
Festival Kassoumaye is a cultural event born in
2025 in Casamance, rooted in the traditions of the Diola
people.
It brings together traditional dance, music, crafts,
and storytelling, while raising awareness about environmental
protection and actively involving young people.
Our ambition is to preserve and pass on the living heritage
of Casamance to future generations, while also protecting
the natural environment that sustains it —
mangroves, sacred forests, and rice fields.
The first edition
was a great artistic success, but it ended with a financial
loss of 1000 euros — a clear sign that this project
deserves broader support.
But the ecological dimension goes even further: the village
hosting the festival is entirely located on the coast,
and is directly threatened by rising sea levels due to
climate change.
Without action, parts of the village
could be submerged in the coming years.
The festival has
therefore also become a call for climate awareness:
protecting culture also means protecting the land it grows from.
Why a Crowdfunding Campaign?
We are launching a crowdfunding campaign to:
-
Cover core costs for the 2026 edition (logistics, artist fees, security)
-
Organize workshops for young people (dance, crafts, music)
-
Create an eco-responsible space (zero plastic, recycling, tree planting)
-
Build an even stronger and more sustainable festival
The campaign will be hosted on this crowdfunding platform, where anyone can make a secure online donation. Stand by for rewards !!
🎯 Goal: £1,500
Every euro is a gesture in support of culture, youth,
nature, and a village under threat.
Kassoumaye – Peace be with you.
Thank you for supporting this collective dream.

Festival Kassoumaye – Juntos por la cultura, la juventud y la naturaleza de Casamance
El Festival Kassoumaye es un evento cultural nacido en 2025 en
Casamance, en el corazón de las tradiciones diola.
Reúne
danzas, músicas, artesanía y relatos, a la vez que sensibiliza sobre
la protección del medio ambiente e involucra activamente a la
juventud.
Nuestra ambición: transmitir el patrimonio vivo de
Casamance a las nuevas generaciones, al mismo tiempo que preservamos
la naturaleza que lo vio nacer — manglares, bosques sagrados,
arrozales.
La primera edición tuvo un magnífico éxito
artístico, pero terminó con una pérdida de 1.000 euros — una señal
de que este proyecto merece un apoyo más amplio.
Pero el
aspecto ecológico va más allá: el pueblo que acoge el festival está
situado íntegramente en zona costera, directamente expuesto al
aumento del nivel del mar vinculado al cambio climático.
Sin
acción, algunas partes del pueblo corren el riesgo de inundarse en
los próximos años.
El festival se convierte así también en un
grito de alerta: proteger la cultura es también proteger el
territorio que la sostiene.
¿Por qué financiación participativa?
Lanzamos una campaña de crowdfunding para:
• Pagar los gastos
del festival 2026 (logística, cachés, seguridad)
• Organizar
talleres para la juventud (danza, artesanía, música)
• Crear un
espacio eco-responsable (cero plástico, reciclaje, plantación de
árboles)
• Preparar una edición aún más ambiciosa y
sostenible
La recaudación se realizará en esta plataforma
participativa, donde cada persona podrá hacer una donación segura.
Objetivo: £1500 / €1700
Cada euro es un gesto por la cultura, la juventud, la
naturaleza y un pueblo en peligro.
Kassoumaye – La paz sea con ustedes.
Gracias por apoyar este
sueño colectivo.

Festival Kassoumaye – Ensemble pour la culture, la jeunesse et la nature de Casamance
Festival Kassoumaye est un événement culturel né en
2025 en Casamance, au cœur des traditions Diola.
Il rassemble
danses, musiques, artisanat et contes, tout en sensibilisant à la
protection de l’environnement et en impliquant activement les jeunes.
Notre ambition : transmettre le patrimoine vivant de
Casamance aux nouvelles générations, tout en
préservant la nature qui l’a vu naître —
mangroves, forêts sacrées, rizières.
La première édition a
connu un magnifique succès artistique, mais s’est terminée avec une
perte de 1000 euros — un signal que ce projet
mérite un soutien plus large.
Mais l’aspect écologique va plus loin : le village qui
accueille le festival est entièrement situé en zone
côtière, directement exposé à la montée des eaux
liée au changement climatique.
Sans action,
certaines parties du village risquent d’être inondées dans les
années à venir.
Le festival devient ainsi aussi un cri
d’alerte : protéger la culture, c’est aussi protéger le
territoire qui la porte.
Pourquoi un financement participatif ?
Nous lançons une campagne de crowdfunding pour :
-
Payer les frais du festival 2026 (logistique, cachets, sécurité)
-
Organiser des ateliers pour les jeunes (danse, artisanat, musique)
-
Créer un espace éco-responsable (zéro plastique, recyclage, plantation d’arbres)
-
Préparer une édition encore plus ambitieuse et durable
La collecte se fera sur cette plateforme participative , où chacun
pourra faire un don sécurisé.
🎯 Objectif :
£1500 / €1700
Chaque euro est un geste pour la culture, la jeunesse,
la nature, et un village en danger.
Kassoumaye – La paix soit avec vous.
Merci de soutenir ce rêve collectif.
