ATelier Yiriba
Atelier Yiriba is a space for creative exploration and experiments open on Thursdays. Children of the neighborhood are introduced to various materials and techniques and are inspired to express their imagination. There is also a small library with a reading lounge. It's first location was under the big tree at "la grande famille" Mallé in Daoudabougou/Bamako. Since 2020 it has moved to the Centre Yiriba in Kalaban Coura.
