American Corner Antananarivo (ACT) is a modern library and a cultural center. Located within the main building of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Antananarivo, ACT is the result of a close collaboration between the Embassy of the United States in Madagascar and the university, particularly the Department of Anglophone Studies. It is one of four American Spaces present in Madagascar.
As a modern library ACT offers books and other resources to its visitors. Its goal is to provide people, young and old alike, with a reliable source of news and information, as well as helpful tools to use for their educational and professional endeavors. English, STEM, pursuing higher education in the US, and empowerment in such fields as leadership and entrepreneurship are some of the main focuses of American Corner Antananarivo.
In its capacity as a cultural center, ACT organizes activities and events on a regular basis. These activities are made for everyone, including kids and teenagers, university students from anywhere, and adults. Previews of all of the Corner's activities can be found below.
Everything is free at American Corner Antananarivo, including becoming a member and participating in activities and events.
