Called D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire, it was founded by Woodna\u00eblle Anne Delice and Germanie Fieff\u00e9 with the goal of promoting reading among children and young people. The organization aims to offer literary experiences that are accessible, interactive, and rooted in Haitian reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The founders&#8217; initial observation is simple: reading is too often seen by young people as a school obligation rather than as a source of pleasure and discovery. To change this perception, D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire develops activities that allow participants to experience books in a different way, in spaces for sharing, creativity, and exchange.Through its initiatives, the organization wants to help sustainably grow the Haitian readership, highlight the richness of national literature, and create a new connection between young people and books.A literary picnic launch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire was officially launched on July 25, 2026, with a Literary Picnic. The event brought together about twenty children for various activities: reading, writing, drawing, painting, educational games, and relaxation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This first activity marked the starting point of an initiative aimed at making reading a lively, fun, and accessible experience for young participants.LIR&#8217;O GAMES, next stop in August<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing this vision, D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire is preparing a new event called LIR&#8217;O GAMES, scheduled for the end of August 2026. This activity will be aimed at children aged 6 to 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The program will feature games, reading challenges, and interactive activities. The main goal is to encourage the joy of reading while allowing children to develop their imagination and creativity outside of the usual school settings.Long-term ambitions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond these first two activities, D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire has long-term ambitions. The organization plans to set up literacy workshops as well as reading support programs, along with other cultural initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">These future initiatives aim to encourage the development of a community of readers and creators in Haiti, in a context where access to books and reading remains a challenge for many young people across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For any additional information, interested individuals can contact D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded by Woodna\u00eblle Anne Delice and Germanie Fieff\u00e9, D\u00e9clic Litt\u00e9raire aims to make reading a fun experience for kids and young people in Haiti.
