The Alliance Française de Katmandou has chosen to focus on the idea of "proches" in French. As an adjective, proches means to be intimate and close to someone or something and as a noun, it means family circle.
Three panellists (Nepalese) will be invited to share their views on the specificities of the family unit in Nepal from three different angles :
- How is a family organized in Nepal? What has changed in recent years? In the family circle, who is considered as a close person? Do we have to be related by blood to consider a person as belonging to our family?
- Entrusting responsibility for the education of one's child to another person or organization. What are the reasons for such a decision? How do you keep the link? What are the difficulties, the expectations, the effects?
- Living abroad for a long period of time, for studies, for a job, then coming back. How do you deal with the lack of and distance from your family? How to readjust to one's environment when one returns? What can be the impact of cultural differences in relations with the family? What are the changes in life and customs that result?
Each of these 3 axes poses the question: "How does a family cope with the absence of one of its members who has gone far away? "Migration, the family in the broad sense, differences between town and country, the relationship to education, generational and cultural gaps, the importance of marriage, contemporary changes in family structure... All these aspects will be addressed.
