Initiated in 2015 by the Goethe-Institut Kamerun, Goethe-Découverte is a platform for promoting young Cameroonian artistic talent in several disciplines (comics, music, visual arts, theatre, dance, spoken words). The winners are selected by a jury of professionals following a competition and receive support in preparing and producing their creative project. For the 2024 edition of the theatre category, exceptionally, 4 artists were selected and benefited from capacity building in the form of a residency.
