Initiated by the Congolese-American writer-researcher, Josammy Samba Ganga, the “Josammy Emporio” Foundation had launched, on Thursday, September 21, 2023, these activities in Brazzaville on the occasion of the International Day of Peace. It was during a Mass of thanksgiving celebrated at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, followed by a wide range of cultural and sporting activities in the courtyard of the said parish. This is part of the FiSSICOLA (International Festival for the Stimulation of African Science and Culture) programs, the objective of which is to promote culture and science in Africa, and to advance research and innovation on the continent.

Created to concretize the FiSSICOLA (International Festival for the Stimulation of African Science and Culture) programs that aim to promote culture and science in Africa, and to advance research and innovation on the continent, the Josammy Emporio Foundation is a platform that aims to defend peace and respect for human rights, while fighting poverty, inequality and racism. It aims to be a network of African elites all over the world.

This associative platform with an international vocation defines itself as a structure that intends to promote African art and culture in all its diversity. Through the FiSSICOLA programs, the foundation intends to set up mechanisms for financing lucrative projects to fight against unemployment, which is prevalent in the country, to organize, each year, a festival in order to restore African cultures, to create pilot stations to advance research and innovation at the national and continental level and to make it available to young people, Scientific expertise to support development initiatives.

It should be noted that the Josammy Emporio Foundation is also planning to set up socio-epistemological research structures in our country. This will make it possible to develop treatments to combat many of the pathologies present in our country and to work for better patient care in health facilities. The first edition of the FiSSICOLA programs will take place next year in Las Vegas, USA.
