Baylavwa Workshops

The Project

Baylavwa Transmission Workshops is a popular education project aimed at promoting cultural access for all children and their families, particularly those most disadvantaged, located in cultural “white zones” of Guadeloupe. The project offers workshops on the transmission of traditional skills, led by holders and practitioners of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) based in Guadeloupe.

Each of us has a crucial role to play in shaping the future of our beautiful island. Through these workshops, young people have the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage.

To achieve this, the project’s objectives are to:

  • Promote access to culture and the arts for socially disadvantaged children and families through participatory educational cultural pathways focused on discovering and learning traditional skills related to Guadeloupe’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH).

 

  • Develop a regular offering of cultural activities for young people aged 7 to 18 and their families through an inter-island Guadeloupe programming.
