The event featured traditional attire, local cuisine, music, and drinks, engaging both the educational community and the local population.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the CEB of Diapaga once again took part in the national movement to promote local products. Through this "Dassandaga" event, which combined culinary, food, and clothing arts, the educational community in Diapaga demonstrated its local initiatives aimed at enhancing the consumption of local products.

Inspector Hubert Ouoba, director of primary education at the CEB of Diapaga, highlighted that this Dassandaga is more than a moment of conviviality; it is a civic act reflecting the CEB's commitment to changing habits, supporting local producers, and instilling values of responsibility, patriotism, and national pride in learners.

This is why the Diapaga CEB is working to be a model by taking concrete actions in favor of endogenous development," he said.
