UCL CETRI (reconfirmed) : March 05, 2009







 

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to Nepal KTM current electricity restrictions and other local prevailing crisis, the majority of the present UCL CETRI & LAAP Cultural Visas Invitation Letters and other supporting documents have been drafted, discussed, printed and countersigned in UCL/LLN with both Prof. Fr. Houtart (CETRI) and Prof. M. Singleton (LAAP) during our last meetings (March 2009) in Belgium, so as to be accountable under the prevailing EU Schengen Visas Regulations, and to be later completed and verified while in Kathmandu Nepal, before submission to the Honorary Consulate KTM NP. 

Due to the late re-programmation of our European Partners activities from the earlier organized Cultural Events, Seminars and Exhibitions planned in May-June 2009, now to enfold next September-October, 2009, onwards, there remain a first batch of a few participants due in principle to fly to Belgium and consult with LAAP early May 2009, while the rest of the participants are re-programmed for  the period September-October 2009. Further details will be provided, as appropriate.

The visas submission itself is accordingly foreseen as being possibly enfolding in two batches, first for the May period, the second for the September-October period, all of which under the same program heading and coordination process, after due verification of all legal conditions and supporting documents as required in KTM NP, under the CAIRN Consortium CETRI/LAAP International Coordinator: William Rene LEON (RWL) who will provide all necessary information in compliance with the following documents, in situ.

Cultural Visa – Short Term Duration : 21 days
UCL CETRI Invitation Letter for Belgium Embassy Delhi and Consulate KTM

(academic workshop seminars and cultural exhibitions planned at UCL/LLN & BRU –
in two batches, being a 1st period : MAY/JUNE and a 2nd period : OCTOBER 2009),

jointly issued by Prof. Francois Houtart – President of CETRI EU-NGO UCL/LLN
and Prof. M. Singleton President UCL/LAAP at the UCL/LLN in Belgium
Int. Coordination in KTM: William R LEON

Dear Mrs. Anne-France Jamart,
Dear Mrs. Jo Sherpa-Logghe,

This is first a note of apology, written today from Bruxelles, Belgium, on behalf
of M.M. Professor Francois HOUTART (President of CETRI EU-NGO UCL/LLN) and
Professor Mike Singleton (President of UCL/ANSO/LAAP UCL/LLN Belgium), as well as
above all by myself : Dr. W. R. LEON, Coordinator CETRI NEPAL (SXC KTM Np), for the
delays we suffered during the completion of the final agenda and related visas files,
which were earlier verified and introduced successfully (ref- CPN/Maoists Rep: Mr. Dong)
after due consultations at our KTM Consulate, last September 2008, but then postponed.


Three things have happened since we last contacted you in KTM NP, which none were
directly under our control, but nonetheless directly addressed the feasibility, agenda
and final legal content of these earlier submitted files, duly prepared in KTM.

First, one of the major European partners of the envisioned Cultural Events programme actually sent us a late notice last December, explaining that due to the financial crisis, their Executive Board had decided to postpone the events foreseen from earlier planned May/June 2009, up-to later October 2009, including a major shift in activities now having to provide more effectively self-sustained supporting events like : Arts Exhibitions and Music, as abiding to their last Cultural Market-Study results for attracting success…

Second, while this actually led to the same conclusions as those we had already planned
as for the suitable Academic Cultural Market-niche per se, that in itself led to
another major problem being that two visas applicants : M.M Dong and Ghising
(both active representatives of CPN/Maoists government in Nepal, invited to
UCL/CETRI May/June), had learned of the earlier meeting held in Caracas between
Prof. Fr. Houtart and some other higher level CPN/Maoists representatives :
M.M. Gajurel and Karki, and so decided to resign from the process initiated,
while supplying some other new names…
At the same time, three or four of the other previous listed persons (M.M. Ale Lama,
Dharma, Namgyel and Anila: who had concluded an earlier 2008 successful visas
application and done an exhibitions programme with us in May/June 2008),
wanted to pursue the process initiated nonetheless …

 

 

 

 


Third, while I have been in France, UK and Belgium, and meeting several times
with Prof(s) Houtart and Singleton, as well as with other European envisioned partners
(for debriefing the ongoing political scenario in Nepal and related programme options),
the blunt fact was that we still have not received from our local Coordinator in KTM
(…) the required bio-data details and guarantees in full, as we need for the files,
so that it obliges me to return ASAP to KTM to verify and proceed successfully
again these files further, before submission at the Consulate, as usual…

As a conclusion, this lead us to the final decision with UCL CETRI to prepare once
again here this week all the visas documents pro-formats as legally required,
and then come back within next weeks to finalize these files, hopefully
once and for all…

The present courtesy note is accordingly submitted to the kind attention of the Belgium
Consulate KTM Nepal and Embassy / Cultural Visas Section relevant services in New Delhi
(India), for apologizing on these successive delays in the finalisation of the UCL CETRI
ORIGINAL INVITATION LETTER FOR CULTURAL VISA (SHORT TERM DURATION: 21 days).

The final application files will be issued for a group of 5 to 7 Nepalese persons, all
involved in the envisioned Development and Cultural programmes to be presented
from UCL CETRI in collaboration with selected EU-NGOs in UCL and Belgium/EU.

The themes selected will cover:
- a Workshop at CETRI on Nepal current CPN/Maoists Government Development Pol,
- meetings with selected UCL centred EU-NGOs, mostly upon : Alternative Energy,
- meetings with other Units scholars and development workers upon Nepal sit-rep,
- a serie of related sponsoring Sacred Arts & Music Exhibitions and Concerts,
- consultations on projects development, incl. NGOs, Arts & Cultural Events.
- ...

It has been envisioned that this group may be submitted as one, or either divided
into two successive batches of applicants, based upon the advise to be gathered
at Consulate KTM, considering the need to keep visas duration as short period of
21 days (one month max), while covering several events linked as a process,
between May/June and October 2009.

The final visas application files and supporting docs annexes will be verified and
completed on arrival in KTM Nepal, before end of March, and then duly submitted
at the Honorary Consulate KTM, later this month with our repeated excuses.
I may do a stop-over at Embassy Cultural Desk in Delhi, while heading to KTM NP
and will keep your services duly informed…
With thanks and kind regards,
RWL

Cultural Visa – Short Term Duration : 21 days
Draft- Invitation Letter (academic seminar – period : ……

Cultural Visa request jointly issued by Prof. Francois Houtart – President of CETRI EU-NGO at UCL/LLN and Prof. M. Singleton – President of the UCL/ANSO LAAP at UCL/LLN–Belgium,
cc: Coordination CAIRN SXC KTM William R LEON


Chère Mme. A-Fr Jamart,
Dear Mrs. Jo Sherpa-Logghe,


Suite aux dernières consultations entretenues a l' UCL/LLN avec le Professeur Fr. Houtart (President de UCL/CETRI LLN), le Professeur M. Singleton (President de l’ UCL/LAAP LLN) et différent représentants d' unités UCL quant a l’ évolution politique actuelle au Népal et notre programmation de nos Séminaires, Expositions et Rencontres prévus en Octobre 2009, j’ ai l’ honneur de vous adresser la présente LETTRE DE DEMANDE POUR VISAS CULTURELS (INVITATION LETTER FOR CULTURAL VISAS), pour un groupe de ............. représentants Népalais invités par le CETRI à participer à un programme intitulé :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nepal Geo-political Issues, Good Governance and Human Rights Development Policies, a serie of Worshops and INGOs Meetings cum Exhibition(s) on Sacred Arts & Rituals performed by genuine members of the local Buddhists/Maoists community in the strategic target-site Bauddha Stupa, KTM Np , a face-to-face testimony …

The themes selected will cover:
- a Workshop at CETRI on Nepal current CPN/Maoists Government Development Pol,
- meetings with selected UCL centred EU-NGOs, mostly upon : Alternative Energy,
- meetings with other Units scholars and development workers upon Nepal sit-rep,
- a serie of related sponsoring Sacred Arts & Music Exhibitions and Concerts,
- consultations on projects development, incl. NGOs, Arts & Cultural Events.
- ...

Ce programme comprendra donc des activités recouvrant les domaines culturels et artistiques, dont les Arts Sacres et Musiques des Traditions Tibétaines et Népalaise, en plus que les travaux académiques repris ci-dessus.  Il sera organise à partir du CETRI et du LAAP à Louvain-la-Neuve, selon un agenda flexible de rencontres, groupes de travail et séminaires, prévus en deux saisons entre May/Juin et Octobre 2009, le tout étant en préparation de la visite possible du Professeur Fr. Houtart (expert UN, CETRI UCL/LLN) à KTM Nepal prochainement… (visites des bureaux des Nations Unies UN Pulchowk, de la Delegation European Commission, du DFID UK, du CPN/M HQ, du Belgium Consulate a KTM et du St- Xaviers Campus & SXSSC Social Services, entre autres…).

La présente initiative fait suite au programme déjà organisé avec succès l' an passé (Mai–Juin 2008) et se situe dans le cadre de l’ étude des développements idéologiques et géo-politiques actuels au Népal, entre autre l’ évolution des structures académiques et institutionnelles.
 

CETRI :

Le Centre tricontinental (CETRI), organisation non gouvernementale fondée en 1976 et
basée à Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgique), est un centre d'étude, de publication, de
documentation et d'éducation permanente sur le développement et les rapports Nord-Sud.

Le CETRI a pour objectif de faire entendre des points de vue du Sud et de contribuer à
une réflexion critique sur les conceptions et les pratiques dominantes du développement
à l'heure de la mondialisation néolibérale. Il s'attache en particulier à la compréhension et à la discussion du rôle des acteurs sociaux et politiques du Sud en lutte pour la reconnaissance des droits sociaux, politiques, culturels et écologiques.

Les activités du CETRI sont de quatre types : étude, formation, publication, documentation.

 

 

 

 

 

L’ actualité dramatique de ces 10 dernières années au Népal a trouvé auprès des formateurs et acteurs de nos plateformes UCL LAAP (Prof. Mike Singleton) et CETRI (Prof. Fr. Houtart),  une résonance particulière motivée par la problématique de la nouvelle équipe gouvernementale Népalaise et les bénéfices pouvant résulter de la rencontre potentielle entre les besoins du pays et l ‘expertise de notre équipe en une série de matières complexes, telles : Media, Communication, International Relations et Human Resources Development (HRD) Skills.

Notre programme est donc conçu dans le cadre d’ une joint- venture tripartite comprenant le CAIRN Consortium (basé a KTM NP), le SXC KTM NP, le CETRI et le LAAP de l’ UCL/LLN en Belgique, ainsi que d’ autres partenaires EU/UK-.

Merci de bien vouloir noter que, comme pour la fois précédente, cette initiative a requis plus de 6 mois de préparation. Elle en est, en ce moment, au niveau de l’ élaboration d’ un agenda final des rencontres à UCL/LLN, de l‘ identification des items requis pour le curriculum proposal selon les frameworks EC- et DFID, ainsi que de la vérification des pièces administratives requises pour la demande des visas à KTM, telles que : les dernieres vérifications des passeports, des biodata, des lettres de recommandations et autres justificatifs nécessaires pour une bonne suite du dossier de visas, tel que repris ci-dessous.

Nous vous sommes reconnaissant de bien vouloir ouvrir un dossier référence CETRI :
- Prof. Francois Houtart ( President du CETRI – UCL/LLN ),
- Prof. Mike Singleton ( President du UCL/POLS/ANSO/LAAP ),
- William R Leon (International Coordination KTM NP CAIRN/LAAP).

Les formulaires de demandes de visas et les pièces requises dans le dossier seront soumises tout d’ abord au Consulat de Belgique à KTM NP pour vérification, interviews, et avis du Consul sur la recevabilité, avant que d’ être transférés vers vos services à l’ Ambassade  de New Delhi.

LA LETTRE D’ INVITATION FINALE SERA TRANSMISE DIRECTEMENT PAR UN COURRIER EXPRESS DEPUIS L’ UCL BELGIQUE A L’ AMBASSADE DE BELGIQUE  DELHI, OU REMISE PERSONNELLEMENT AU CONSULAT PAR LE COORDINATEUR WILLIAM R LEON, EN ACCORD COMPLET AVEC LE PROF. HOUTART DU CETRI ET LE PROF. MIKE SINGLETON UCL/LAAP, CO-SIGNATAIRES DE CETTE INITIATIVE. 

Merci d’ accuser réception de la présente et de nous informer de l’ état d’ avancement du
dossier, en ce compris tout transfert éventuel du dossier a Bruxelles (tel qu’en septembre 2008), ainsi que de toutes pièces ou précisions manquantes, ou confusion commises, de telle manière a nous permettre cette fois d’ y remédier a temps. 

Très cordialement,
