The project, located in a small isolated town near Kayes, West Mali, is a cultural centre that ASF France is designing for and with ADVO (Association de Développement du Village d’Oussoubiadiagna). ADVO is composed of Malian migrants now working in Parisian suburbs, and local youths. They wish to develop educational and cultural activities for local youth: teaching basic literacy, agriculture and computing, as well as providing a place for film screenings, concerts, dance, drama, etc.
The project includes community spaces, a library, a cybercafé, a record room for the local radio, huts for visitors, a guard house, and sports grounds, the whole development set around a large circular meeting hall. This hall is a strong symbol of modernity and regeneration which is important for the inhabitants. It is made of a large photovoltaic panelled roof, which will provide the center with enough power for all its equipment and lighting.
This quite sophisticated structure will be the most technical part of the project and needs special technological skills. Apart from this one element, ASF France is developing the rest of the project by using techniques based on local resources.
The members of ADVO are also very interested in the training possibilities that can be attached to the project, and its potential in term of skills transference to the benefit of the village population.
