Difficile de parler d’autres choses que de ce fichu virus omniprésent dans nos vies ! Un an déjà que nous avons dû annuler toutes les activités qui étaient prévues en 2020 et au premier semestre 2021. Un an de privations, de limitations de liberté. C’était certainement nécessaire, mais c’est long, très long ! Le temps est venu de parler d’espoir. La campagne de vaccination a commencé et d’après les prévisions, les seniors devraient être vaccinés d’ici l’été 2021. Nous pourrions alors sereinement recevoir plus d’un invité à domicile, retourner au théâtre, au cinéma et reprendre nos activités de groupe. Soyons positifs ! Voyez à ce propos notre programme à partir de fin juin 2021. Ce sont malheureusement des prévisions qui pourraient encore être adaptées en fonction de l’évolution de la pandémie.

  • L'enseignement Officiel En Brabant Wallon
    L’Enseignement officiel en Brabant wallon Répertoire des établissements d’enseignement officiel organisés par les communes, la Province du Brabant wallon et la Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles Educ Brabant wallon, ASBL, est la régionale de la Ligue de l’Enseignement et de l’Education permanente. La LEEP est une organisation générale d’éducation permanente qui assure la promotion de l’Ecole publique et la formation des jeunes et des adultes en vue de favoriser la participation responsable à la vie démocratique de la société. introduCtion L’élaboration de ce répertoire a pour objectif de rappeler les valeurs promues par l’Enseignement officiel, renforcer la connaissance réciproque des établissements de l’Enseignement officiel et témoigner du souci de qualité qui anime en permanence les acteurs. L’Enseignement officiel est organisé par les Communes, les Provinces et la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Vous trouverez donc dans ce répertoire toutes les écoles maternelles, primaires, secondaires, supérieures et de promotion sociale officielles. Les écoles maternelles et primaires, celles que l’on appelle aussi fondamentales, ont été classées dans l’ordre numérique des codes postaux des communes. Nous pensons que, de ce fait, il est plus aisé de rechercher une école maternelle et/ou primaire dans une zone bien déterminée. Toutefois, pour éventuellement faciliter une recherche par nom de commune, une liste des codes postaux attribués aux communes se trouve en page 42. Quant aux écoles secondaires ou supérieures, elles sont également classées par ordre numérique des codes postaux. Pour toutes les institutions, vous pourrez trouver les adresses postales, les numéros de téléphone et les adresses e-mail.
