Dear Friends of the UPVA Festival!
We are pleased to announce the 13th edition of the Un Pas Vers l'Avant festival, which will take place from September 1 to 15, 2025 in Lauzoua and Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

This edition promises to be rich in emotion, artistic exchanges and human contacts.
However, the organization of this edition is taking place in a particularly tight budgetary context.

Despite our commitment and the institutional support we are asking for, the needs remain numerous and essential:

1. ACCOMMODATION OF ALL FESTIVAL PARTICIPANTS
🏠 Accommodation for all artists and participants from Africa and Europe
🍽 Catering during the workshops and events for 70 festival participants
🚌 International and local transportation for all artists and participants
2. WELL PROJECT AND DRINKING WATER DRILL
💧 The implementation of our humanitarian goal - the realization of a drinking water well for the inhabitants of the small villages around Lauzoua, such as Kessegnigbo, St-Louis and Tadjo, should sustainably improve the living conditions there.
For this we need your help and support!

Your financial support, regardless of the amount, contributes directly to the success of this edition of our festival and thus also to the festival's local visibility.

In this way you help us to achieve our two goals:

* Catering for our festival visitors:
📱 Orange Money, Ivory Coast: ‪+225 0757664478‬
* Support for the well project in Lauzoua:
🌍.
If you would like to help us achieve both of our goals at the same time, please let us know by e-mail: cdal.lauzoua2022@gmail.com
Every gesture counts! Let's make this 13th edition a meaningful and solidary event together.
Thank you for your trust and your commitment to our festival - side by side we will succeed!
With sincere appreciation,
the team of the UPVA - Un Pas Vers l'Avant festival and the management of the Centre de développement Artistique de Lauzoua CDAL
