Six Ways MACUDA Supports Youth Expression
From the football pitch to the stage, MACUDA invests in every form of talent.
Inter-Branch Football Tournament

Athletics & Traditional Sports
Organisation of running races, rope climbing and traditional wrestling (nkuindom) to preserve ancestral physical practices alongside modern sport.
Music & Choir Groups
Support for the Mankong community choir active at events and ceremonies. Training in traditional instruments — nkul drum, flute, balafon — and modern ensembles.
Dance & Theatre Troupes
The Ntoumou Youth Dance Troupe performs at all MACUDA events. Theatre workshops for teenagers explore community themes, oral tradition and current issues.
Traditional Games & Strategy
Promotion of mancala, nkuindom wrestling and other ancestral games at intergenerational events to ensure their transmission to the youngest generation.

SPOTLIGHT
The Ntoumou Youth Dance Troupe
The Ntoumou troupe is one of MACUDA's flagship cultural groups. Made up of 20 young men and women aged 16–30, it performs traditional Mambila-Koutine dances at all major community events — from the annual general assembly to the Harvest Festival and diaspora gatherings in Europe and North America.
MACUDA finances the group's costumes, training sessions and travel. New members are welcomed every year; no prior dance experience is required — only enthusiasm and community spirit.
