Events for the general public

The CFEE often organises events for the general public. Their aim is to acquaint people with research and research careers in Ethiopia.

The CFEE occasionally organises ‘outdoor’ events during which researchers go meet the general public. These events are often organised in cooperation with Ethiopian institutions (Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage, the Ethiopian National Museum) or with the Ethio-French Alliances of Addis-Abeba or Dire Dawa. Researchers of the CFEE are also involved in the animation of workshops intended for the pupils of the Lycée Guebre-Mariam.

These events are announced on the blog of the CFEE.

Night of Ideas 2018 : Exhibition WOmen at work ! Visible and invisible work in Ethiopia, through the gender lens

As part of a sociological research project in Ethiopia about entrepreneurs moral commitment, Constance Perrin-Joly (CNRS research fellow appointed to the CFEE) realized pictures of people at work in the studied companies as well as in the city streets, in Mekele, Hawassa, Addis Ababa and in the Afar region, between 2011 and 2019. These pictures had led to a exhibition at the Alliance Ethio-Française of Addis Ababa on the occasion of the Night of Ideas, from the 28th of January to the 17th of February 2018. Falling within the perspective of social photography, the project used photography to reveal the social recognition of work in Ethiopia. It shows the divisions, the cooperation forms and how professions are seen in a country in transformation. The exhibition enabled to explore three topics : work division, the eye on work and the (visible) professionnalization of work.
