This year, La Boîte celebrates six years of development of intercultural projects both internationally and nationally. La Boîte continues more than ever to strengthen public-private partnerships that promote the emergence of new ideas with an emphasis on art and culture. La Boîte interculturelle does not sell services, we create unique experiences of exchange and collaboration with artists and partners who wish to strengthen ties and forge new ones between communities.
The last few years have been marked by important developments which have paved the way in the field of intercultural exchange. From our first project in Morocco in 2016-2017 to the most recent one (see list below), La Boîte has always focused on an intercultural approach and with the intimate conviction that the arts can promote rapprochement between cultures. It is by working together that we can make a difference.
Through all of our actions, we want to continue building a network of professional and human skills to advance intercultural exchanges.
Since our beginnings, La Boîte has been able to position itself quickly in the cultural landscape and has become a competent resource in the development of partnerships.
Over the next few weeks, both on our website and on social media, you will have the opportunity to read a series of publications and articles on the results of a survey that was done during the screenings of Mamu Ensemble Together, testimonials from artists who participated in our projects or articles on our upcoming projects.
To learn more about our organization and our projects, visit our Website. We’d love to hear or meet with you to discuss potential projects or partnerships.

“Collaborating with a Moroccan band was a whole different world, especially with powwow indigenous drum singing. I really enjoyed the experience.
It's very important to mix cultures together to learn from each other. It's all about embracing other cultures together and eliminating racism”.

"The project 'La terre n’a qu’un soleil' was one of the most enriching experiences of my career.
I am thankful for the opportunity to get to know another culture and music that was completely unknown to me. I developed valuable and permanent friendships.
This project allowed me to expand my musical knowledge. I am very grateful."

It is with great pleasure that La Boîte interculturelle announces a partnership agreement on dissemination and development with the Association Sandja of Cameroon. The association works to safeguard the tangible and intangible musical heritage of Africa.
In collaboration with Michel Ndoh Ndoh, coordinator of the project 'Traditional musical instruments of Cameroon and Africa, La Boîte acts as a resource organization in Canada. LBI will focus on the development with private and public organizations, institutions, artists, luthiers, academics interested in setting up exchanges, workshops, exhibitions, researches and conferences.
Traditional Musical Instruments of Cameroon and Africa ’examines all the traditional musical instruments of Africa, particularly their physical studies and their origin. As Michel Ndoh Ndoh puts it so well: ..."If African artists are present on the international stages, this is not always the case for traditional African musical instruments". This project therefore promotes the learning and transmission of ancestral knowledge of musical instruments for current and future generations.
For more information or to schedule a meeting, contact us.
