The BROMECC project (Bronze Memory and Empowerment of Cameroonian Communities) is part of an urgent "research-action" framework dedicated to safeguarding bronze technology in the Tikar regions of Cameroon. Faced with the imminent risk of the disappearance of the ancestral "lost wax" bronze casting technique in the Tikar plain, this initiative deploys a comprehensive strategy combining rigorous scientific documentation with on-site artisanal revitalization. The core of the project relies on an intergenerational transfer of skills, where master founders from Foumban, Bankim, and Kong transmit their manufacturing secrets to a new generation of apprentices.

• Center for Tikar Studies 
• Afoni Children of Hope Foundation 
• Conseil International des Radios et Télévisions d’Expression Française 

The project, "Building Bridges and Re-connecting People" ,is a strategic intervention designed to enhance collaboration and shared identity among the fragmented communities of Cameroon’s Northwest (NW) and Southwest (SW) regions.

The project aims to transform the perception of artificial intelligence in Cameroon’s cultural sector, shifting it from a perceived existential threat to a responsible ally, while preserving traditional principles of production, learning, and performance. It focuses on hybrid training protocols that combine essential artistic and managerial skills with responsible AI use, reducing production costs through technological innovation, and improving visibility of cultural works via ethical digital marketing. Through pilot experimentation, artists from diverse backgrounds will test and document AI integration, creating a reproducible model of responsible digital transformation. This tripartite collaboration between Alizé Équateur, Med.IA Lab, and LIONN INITIATIVE ensures both technical and pedagogical depth, equitable dissemination between Yaoundé and Douala, and sustainable capacity building for cultural actors, particularly vulnerable youth and women.

Cameroon faces a paradoxical situation: while the country benefits from a youthful population (over 75% under 35) and a fast‑growing digital sector (10% annual growth), these opportunities are undermined by a dual divide—digital and gender. Vulnerable young women, especially internally displaced persons, unemployed young mothers, and poor orphans in the Centre and West regions, are excluded from the knowledge economy due to stereotypes, limited access to training and tools, socio‑economic hardships such as isolation and trauma, and a mismatch between traditional training and current labour market needs. To address this, the project targets 40 vulnerable women aged 18–35 in Yaoundé and Bafoussam, selected based on age, vulnerability, education level, and motivation, with indirect benefits extending to around 400 people including families, local businesses, and host communities
