N
ous arrivons à la fin de l'année 2015. Elle a été
particulièrement riche et dense en émotions de
toute nature, et nous sommes heureux de vous
avoir fait partager de grands moments, et pour un public de
plus en plus nombreux et diversifié. Mais nous n'avons pas
dit notre dernier mot! En effet, avant la fermeture annuelle
du CCFN, du 11 décembre 2015 au 11 janvier 2016, le
Centre vous proposera de nombreuses manifestations
culturelles, ludiques, excitantes, intéressantes, pour tous
les publics, afin de vous accompagner de la meilleure
manière possible vers la période des Fêtes de fin d’année.
Un feu d'artifices! Au niveau des événements que je
tiens à vous signaler : du cinéma, Français, Africain,
international (la semaine du Film Turc), des concerts
(ne ratez pas le dernier Acoustic Friday de l'année, avec
Zen-Zo!), des débats, de la danse, des expositions et de
la mode, du divertissement (Theatre Sports), de la poésie
! Enfin, du 30 novembre au 11 décembre, aura lieu à
Paris, sous présidence française, la fameuse COP21 sur
le dérèglement climatique. Cet événement diplomatique
- le plus grand jamais organisé - sera l'occasion pour la
France et la Namibie - que je félicite pour sa contribution
très ambitieuse de réduction de son émission de Gaz à Effet
de Serre à l'horizon 2030 (-89%!) - de se retrouver sous
d'autres latitudes et de resserrer des liens de coopération,
exemplaires, jamais démentis. A Windhoek, le CCFN
traduira localement cet esprit d'excellente collaboration
par une semaine spéciale "COP21" du 30 novembre au
4 décembre 2015. Le prochain Conseil d'Administration
du CCFN qui se tiendra en novembre prochain sera très
important. Une nouvelle coprésidence namibienne sera
effective, après le départ de Mme Retha-Louise Hofmeyr,
que nous regrettons tous pour son implication, la pertinence
de ses interventions et pour son sourire. Par ailleurs, un
plan d'action pour les 5 prochaines années d'action du
CCFN sera proposé pour permettre au Centre d'être plus
fort, plus visible, plus attractif, et plus présent - et ce dans
la perspective proche des 25 ans du CCFN en Namibie, que
nous célèbrerons en juillet 2016. Mais cela est une autre
histoire... A toutes et à tous, avec un peu d’avance mais
avec toute ma sincérité et mon grand enthousiasme, je
vous souhaite de passer d’excellentes Fêtes de fin d’année
et je vous invite à rejoindre en novembre et en décembre
la communauté croissante des FNCC’s lovers.
W
e are approaching the end of
2015. It was a year particularly
rich and dense in all kinds of
emotions, and we are pleased to have
shared with you. But we have not said
our last word!
Before the annual closing of the FNCC as from the 11th of
December 2015 to the 11th of January 2016, the Centre
will offer many cultural, amusing, exciting and interesting
events for everyone, in order to support you in the best
way possible towards the festive season. Fireworks!
Events I would like to highlight are: French, African and
international films (the Turkish Film Week), Concerts (Do
not miss the last Acoustic Friday of the year with Zen-Zo!),
Debates, Dance, Exhibitions, Stories and Art Talk!
Finally, from the 30 th November to the 11th December,
the COP21 on Climate Change will be held in Paris under
French Presidency. This diplomatic event - the biggest
ever - is another opportunity for France and Namibia to
strengthen exemplary and indefatigable ties. I take this
opportunity to congratulate the Government of Namibia
on its very ambitious proposal to reduce Greenhouse
Gas Emissions by 89% by 2030. In Windhoek the FNCC
will locally translate this COP21 spirit through a special
week from the 30 th November to the 4th December 2015.
The FNCC's next Board Meeting to be held in November
will be very important. A new Namibian co-chair will be
effective after Mrs Retha-Louise Hofmeyr retired who
we all miss for her involvement, the relevance of her
interventions and for her smile. Furthermore, an action
plan for the next 5 years of the FNCC will be proposed
to enable the Centre to become stronger, more visible,
more attractive, and more present with the upcoming
25 years celebration of the FNCC in Namibia that we will
be held in July 2016.
But that's another story...
I extend to you all an early season's greetings and I invite
you to join in November and December the FNCC's lovers'
growing community.
