Project context

The cultural complex '' La case à Palabre '' set up by the ‘’ Association pour le Développement de Batschenga (ADEB)”, presents a new and equally innovative "concept" in the context of the city of BATSCHENGA, and even for Cameroon as a whole. It associates, in a single entity, three complementary spaces of a purely social nature:

 

  • An educational space,
  • A recreational and leisure space,
  • A space for artistic and touristic creation, craft and professional training.

 

These multiple tools are freely put at the disposal of young people, enabling them to learn, train, educate, recreate and, if possible, create small income-generating activities, which could ensure their well-being while considerably improving the living standard of the whole population.

 

In its current phase, the project presents the following elements, already operational:

 

  • A consultation library which, from less than two hundred books in March 2017, currently has six hundred and thirty one books now. This is a progression of four hundred books in six months.

 

  • A media library with a video projector that allows us to make video projections for young people and to conduct certain educational projects as well as training sessions.

 

  • A multimedia center where we are currently training young people on a purely free basis at the use of the ICT. It is even planned in the future to create a training point for ‘’Institut Africain d’Informatique’’ for a certification training in computing sciences.

 

  • A training point is also being opened which will concern basketry and the different trades for manufacturing rattan objects.

 

'' La case à Palabre '' is thus, the proposal of an appropriate response both socially and economically to help rural people raise their standard of living.

 

It should be well noted here that, beyond these trainings already operational or in the process of being operational, the complex remains open to any idea of ​​training in various fields that can help the youth (girls and boys), and support the various populations in their quest for a better social being.

About the project

Existing spaces in '' La case à Palabre ‘‘are actually as follows:

 

  • 24 m2 for the library and the reading room (ie a space of 4m x 6m)
  • 9 m2 for the multimedia center ( ie 3.30m x 3.00m)
  • 5 m2 for offices (3.00 mx 2.50 m)
  • 25 m2 for artisanal and other trainings (ie 5 mx 5 m)

 

The total of spaces occupied is thus 66,4 m2

These spaces exist in an old building which solicits some repair work for the moment. And even if these works were engaged, the spaces in this building would remain insufficient at the current stage and for all the activities undertaken. This requires us to develop other spaces to accommodate the various activities at the best.

 

So we are currently owners of a piece of land of about three hundred square meters, which we would like to construct on with local materials in the first place , this to minimize the costs of construction.

The lack of spaces inside the building obliges us at the present, to adopt palliative solutions which, are totally discomfortable, and which for the most part, obliges us to allow the young people who frequent the library to get out the books to read outside. This solution puts at risk the safeguarding of the books we are supposed to preserve.

 

During some workshops such as student-led internet research, which unfortunately cannot be transported outside despite the small size of the local, young people most often end up like sardines piled in a box, walking on each other. Condition that does not allow them to work with enough tranquility, and in the comfort necessary for a better assimilation of research data.

 

It is just difficult during these moments, and also during the language workshops, to people to consult the books of the library. Thus the holding of these workshops is done to the detriment of the consultation of the books of the library.

 

During the video projections, a screen is lowered, which is placed in front of the books, completely blocking access to the shelves.
