​

This Francophonie of peoples is both the death certificate of a certain linguistic colonialism and the beginning of a true recognition of the richness of cultural diversity.

The Caravan of Ten Words is the living testimony of a Francophonie of peoples that is "easy" to implement, participatory, capable of adapting to our times and on all continents. It is the affirmation that language is a vector of links and cultures, but also a game, a challenge… you have to play with words!

​

NB: Maison Gabrielle-Roy does not receive any special funding to coordinate these events and produce the video clips.

Our partners for the moment are the Alliance Française du Manitoba and the Center culturel franco-manitobain, with whom we organize the Juste Slam evenings and the poetry/slam writing workshops.

​

We also have the support of the International Festival of Slam Poetry in Acadie.

The Caravane des dix mots project is shared by artistic teams and cultural actors present on the five continents, known as the Caravaniers.

Since 2003, nearly 100 structures have participated in this linguistic adventure by mobilizing the inhabitants of their territory!

Gathered by a common conception of language as a bridge between citizens and as a tool for meeting cultures, they form a dynamic network, engaged in reflection on the challenges of the Francophonie, the defense and promotion of the richness of cultural and linguistic diversity.

Looking forward to reading or hearing from you on this subject.
