Wole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange Program (WSICE)

The Open Door Series Project WS is an International Cultural Exchange Program that promotes human dignity through Literature, Arts, and Culture, focusing on youth empowerment and global unity. It commenced its first edition on July 13, 2010, coinciding with Professor Wole Soyinka's 76th birthday, featuring 76 stars on stage and screen honouring him at Muson Center.

Zmirage Multimedia and Global New Haven have proudly sponsored the Open Door Series Project WS. Sponsoring this program provides a unique opportunity to support a global cultural exchange initiative, including tours to Nigeria, Barbados, and London. 

These tours showcase plays and essays that delve into themes of global diplomacy and national identity. As the program grows, so does the exposure for our sponsors, with subsequent editions expanding to include performances in various Nigerian states and London.

The project's highlight is the essay competition, offering secondary school students opportunities for scholarship and recognition. Winners engage in cultural exchanges and personal interactions with Professor Soyinka, reinforcing the project's goal of nurturing young minds towards positive change.

The initiative's vision emphasizes education, art, and culture as vital tools for countering fear and violence, fostering individual growth, and steering youth towards a path of progress for Nigeria and humanity.
