Le mois du Créole 

Ansanm, nou ka viv li !

In October 2025, the Collectivité Territoriale de Martinique invites the entire population to celebrate the richness and vitality of the Creole language. Each year, this month dedicated to Creole is an opportunity not only to promote our linguistic heritage, but also to pass it on to future generations.

This year, the CTM is placing particular emphasis on education and transmission. Thanks to a strengthened partnership with schools, numerous actions are planned for pupils throughout Martinique. The "Ki Matjoukann Pou Manmay Lékol" operation will be the common thread: it will bring together all the educational and cultural projects, whether or not pupils are already following the Creole option.

Throughout October, Martiniquais and visitors alike can enjoy an eclectic program accessible to all:

• conferences and round tables
• literary encounters
• guided tours in Creole
• intergenerational transmission workshops
• live shows (storytelling, theater, slam, music)
• projections, exhibitions, Creole dictations
• playful and heritage animations.

These events, organized with the support of numerous cultural partners, are aimed at schoolchildren and families alike, language and culture enthusiasts and the merely curious.

The festivities begin on Wednesday, October 1, with a festive, participatory opening day, punctuated by three highlights:

• Mari seafrontn (2pm-5pm): traditional sports workshops and yawl initiation, in the presence of students from Sainte-Anne high school. Speakers: George-Henri Lagier, M. Merine, M. Attely and two young yole players (Registration required - 40 places)
• Écomusée (6:30-8:30pm): presentation of Mémorial Chimen Viré - cinq embarcations, cinq mémoires, brought to you by the Association Matinik Sunugal. Open to all.
