EUROPEAN NETWORK – RÉSEAU EUROPÉEN 26th Annual Conference of the European Network
|
ATELIER AFRIQUE was created by Gérard Warenghem, a Spiritain missionary who worked for 20 years in Gabon until he had to return to France for health reasons. He was also the founder of the Ngo PARTENIA 2000 which welcomed Bishop Jacques Gaillot when he was forced to leave his diocese of Evreux for his proximity to the poor and needy.
ATELIER AFRIQUE has been, simultanously, the permanent Africa workshop in the annual conferences of the EN-RE, a blog and a list of email addresses for the members of EN-RE and persons affiliated to the JEC (Jeunesse étudiante chrétienne). Gérard died before being able to transfer the passwords to anyone in Partenia. As a result, the blog is defunct and although the list of email addresses works, no name can be added or removed.
Now, in our Strasbourg Conference, we should reflect on how to revitalise the mailing list and the blog, perhaps possibly via our website www.en-re.eu .
Atelier Afrique and « Publish what you Pay (PWYP) »
Hugo Castelli comments: I made my first contact with Publish What You Pay in ATELIER AFRIQUE when I went to the Brussels Conference of the European Network in 2003 as an observer for « Cristianas y Cristianos de Base de Madrid (CCBM) ». I then negotiated the affiliation of the Comisión de Movimientos Sociales (MMSS) of CCBM in PWYP London.
PWYP members can receive emails sent by member coalitions from all over the world. Over several years I made a monthly summary of these emails and sent them to my colleagues in MMSS and to ATELIER AFRIQUE.
