I.- La bibliothèque/le livre.
La bibliothèque et la lecture publique ouverte à toutes les couches de la société, principalement aux jeunes désireux de s’initier aux pratiques de la lecture et du même coup, d’élargir leur champ de connaissance générale. En terme d’activités : conférences-débats, expositions, festivals, spectacles, projections, panneaux d’affichage, jeux questions-réponses, lecture dirigée, heure du conte, la bibliothèque est devenue un lieu de référence pour les résidants de Christ-Roi et ses environs.

II.- Animation/Création artistique.
A ce niveau, le Centre a produit une série d’activités présentées à la fois en Haïti et à l’extérieur du pays. Art de communication, d’expression et geste lié à la parole, la création théâtrale, selon Pyepoudre, doit être ouverte à diverses couches de la population, et peut, à l’instar, des autres arts, s’associer au grand combat du peuple pour sa survie et sa dignité.

III.- La formation.
Le Centre met l’accent sur le travail théâtral et forme des comédiens tant à Port-au-Prince que dans les villes de province et dans les milieux ruraux, soit à travers des ateliers de théâtre, soit par des sessions de formation en techniques théâtrales. Il organise également des sessions de formation sur les techniques d’animation socioculturelle, de structuration de groupe et de vie associative.

The Center for Assistance to Information Technology Initiatives (CAITI) is a non-profit and non-governmental organization created by a Caribbean youth group striving to democratize and popularize the NICTs in our area. We have gathered together, since the beginning of 2002, many access centers, cyber cafés, Associations, community schools and colleges in order to help them:

• Give service to built their community’s capacity;
• Lower their access costs;
• Maintain their access service through training on basic management techniques.

nef is an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being. We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environment and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first.

We are unique in combining rigorous analysis and policy debate with practical solutions on the ground, often run and designed with the help of local people. We also create new ways of measuring progress towards increased well-being and environmental sustainability.

nef works with all sections of society in the UK and internationally – civil society, government, individuals, businesses and academia – to create more understanding and strategies for change.

Go to this page for all our publications.

nef is a registered charity founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G7/G8 summit meetings. It has taken a lead in helping establish new coalitions and organisations, such as the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign; the Ethical Trading Initiative; the UK Social Investment Forum; and new ways to measure social and environmental well-being.

The lack of access to reliable and clean energy supplies is a major barrier to improving human well-being around the globe – there are an estimated 1.6 billion people living in the rural areas of developing countries who lack access to electricity – but so is dependence on fossil fuels. Climate-driven ‘natural’ disasters also threaten far worse. Rather than just failing to improve the human condition, we could be about to witness the great reversal of human progress.

Promoting gender equality in and through the media.

Genderlinks GL is committed to a Southern Africa in which women and men are able to realise their full potential and participate equally in all aspects of public and private life. (See Homepage and more).

MISSION

Genderlinks GL works to achieve this vision through promoting gender equality in and through the media as well as in all areas of governance. The organisation’s specific goals are to:

Empower women, who have been socialised to occupy private spaces, to claim their voices as citizens, decision-makers, and in all aspects of public and private life. This objective recognises that it is not enough to focus on gender sensitisation of the media. Women must also be empowered to claim their space. GL thus places its specific focus on the media within the context of gender and governance more broadly.

Promote equal representation and participation of women and men within the institutional structures of the media.

GeoCities (on wikipedia) is a free webhosting service founded by David Bohnett and John Rezner in late 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet. (Go to this Yahoo! page).

In its original form, site users selected a « city » in which to place their webpages; the « cities » being named after cities or regions according to their content — for example, computer-related sites were placed in « SiliconValley » and those dealing with entertainment were assigned to « Hollywood » — hence the name of the site; now, however, this feature has since been abandoned.
