Workshop

DVV International avec ses partenaires a soutenu la mise en place de plus de 15 Centres d'Education Communautaires (CEC) dans toute le pays. Dans ce contexte, DVV International organise une visite d’échange inter-CEC afin que les Maires des différentes communes abritant ces CEC puissent échanger sur leurs expériences respectives, les succès, les difficultés, les perspectives et les stratégies de pérennisation. La visite est prévue dans les CEC de Yélékébougou, Tioribougou, Kolokani, Dio Gare, Sébékoro et Kita les 31/08/ et 01/09/2021. Après cette visite d’échange DVV International organise un atelier de 3 jours au CEC de Kita du 02/09/2021 au 04/09/2021 qui permettra aux Maires de se constituer en réseau pour bénéficier d’échanges de bonnes pratiques mais aussi avoir une certaine force et pouvoir notamment postuler en consortium pour des projets.

Climate Change Fiction: The South Asia Experience (episode 1)

About the episode

In this interaction between authors, scholars and activists, we hope to critically explore the reasons for South Asia being foregrounded as a zone for climate catastrophe in recent Western cli-fi (Kim Stanley Robinson, Ministry of the Future, Stephen Markley, The Deluge), as well as discover more about the extent to which this sub-genre has found roots in this region. Amitav Ghosh has led the way in writing novels with this theme (The Hungry Tide, Gun Island), besides critiquing the failure of literary fiction to engage with this set of questions.

Has speculative fiction/cli-fi from South Asia begun tooffer a nuanced and grounded representation of both the survival mechanisms espoused in the face of existential threats and possibilities for resistance and organisation at the grassroots level emerging in the region, as Vandana Singh and others have argued? Can climate change fiction indicate the scope for alternative paradigms emerging at present and in times to come?
