Francothéâtres
Le site « Francothéâtres », veut être un lieu d’archives, soit un ensemble de dossiers, d’articles, de photos, de communiqués de presse, d’entretiens, de commentaires et d’études réalisés à partir des lectures de pièces, des rencontres avec les artistes et de l’observation des événements scéniques sur les lieux même de leur création. La désignation « Francothéâtres » nous paraît à la fois problématique mais aussi suffisamment ouverte pour faire comprendre que ces témoignages portent exclusivement sur la production des artistes de la scène dont une des langues véhiculaires est le français mais dont les origines géographiques et culturelles s’ouvrent vers des lieux les plus divers.

Semester in Development in Uganda
The Institute of African Studies is pleased to announce that it has signed a memorandum of agreement with Youth In Development, a Canadian organization devoted to getting youth more involved and engaged with international development. This provides another way for Carleton students in African Studies and other programs to have an incredible experiential learning opportunity on the continent.
The Semester in Development has been specifically designed to help participants bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students spend a semester in Uganda where they are take two accredited courses on conflict and development at Makerere University, one of Africa’s most prestigious institutions. Students also intern with one of their partner NGOs or social enterprises.
