The Creole Language and Culture Research Institute was launched on Wednesday at a ceremony at the Anse Royale campus. Under the banner “Nou kiltir, nou konesans, nou lidantite”, the institute aspires to be the knowledge hub for Creole languages and cultures in the Indian Ocean. Present at the launch was the Minister for Tourism and Culture, Alain St Ange, who stated that we need to add more value to our Creole language, defend it and value its importance in society.
