Programmes

Start where you are.

Whether you're curious about the creative industries or already building a company in them, there's a CIIFA programme that meets you there.

The Skill Pool

The free first step. The Skill Pool maps the creative industries into clear paths so you can see where you fit, what to learn, and what each road pays. Start as a complete beginner and climb as far as you want to go.

The AMEDI Festival

AMEDI means "welcome" in Ibibio. Once a year, Lagos opens its doors to Africa's creative economy: five days of ideas, trade, a career fair and one unforgettable closing night. If you only come to one thing we do, come to this.
