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.

nef The New Economics Foundation

Linked with The price of power. See also nef on Nov. 6, 2006.

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.
