The U.S. Embassy is pleased to work with the Ministry of Culture to organize a program promoting friendship and cultural exchange between American and Algerian artists. The program is part of the Next Level initiative created by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in partnership with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill’s Department of Music, and will be held February 14-22, 2017 in Algiers. Next Level Algeria will train more than 60 young Algerian talented artists selected by the U.S. Embassy last month through a competitive application process.
Through American hip hop music and dance, Next Level encourages intercultural friendships,creativity, and entrepreneurship.
