CANAL+ ANNOUNCES THE CREATION OF ITS FOUNDATION

CANAL+ is delighted to announce the creation of its Foundation, supporting the right to culture for all.

In so doing, the CANAL+ group, a major player in the production and distribution of content across many different geographical areas, is making a new commitment to promote culture throughout the world.

The missions of the CANAL+ Foundation:

• Work throughout the world to provide access to culture and its professions for as many people as possible;
• Develop talent from all over the world to allow the most wonderful individual and collective stories to be written.

With the expertise and talents of CANAL+, the Foundation's programmes will aim to offer cultural experiences as well as training in all regions where the group has a presence, like pre-existing initiatives such as "Create Joy", which is committed to equal opportunities in the cultural and creative industries, "CANAL+ University", which develops travelling training courses on the African continent to develop the skills of young professionals, or "Orphée", which allows vulnerable children in orphanages across Africa to access education and entertainment.
