| Bactria Cultural Centre, as the cultural actor of ACTED’s activities, is fully devoted to provide access to information and to vocational training. Educational activities aimed at artists and art professionals are organized with the firm belief that an understanding of national identity as well as social changes and development can originate from active participants of society. The role of an artist is, and always has been, the observer, the analyzer, and the initiator. |

| One of the main information points in Bactria is its library, which has a collection of books in Tajik, Russian, English, German and French, focusing on mostly culture and history. Art books on the works of Michelangelo, Levitan, Vrubel, Aivazovsky, Theophanes the Greek, movies of Russian and Western avant-garde, and Italian Renaissance are the most valued pieces of the collection. |

ANNUAL SEMINAR FOR FRENCH LANGUAGE TEACHERS
In the framework of its partnership with the French Embassy, BACTRIA does not restrict its mission of promoting the French language and improving the quality of French teaching to the Dushanbe area. Indeed, it strives to extend its action to the rest of the country by strengthening the network of French teachers in Tajikistan. This activity consists in organizing an annual seminar for Tajik teachers of the French language.
This seminar is a unique initiative that allows French teachers of the different regions of Tajikistan to gather in Dushanbe, discuss the projects of the National Association of French Teachers of Tajikistan, and work together on specific topics (curriculum, learning and teaching techniques, preparation to DELF exams…) or on new projects linked to the development of the French Language in Tajikistan (publication of new teaching books…).
BACTRIA organized the first annual seminar for Tajik teachers of French language from Dushanbe universities and secondary schools in Tajikistan in 2007.
In 2010, the annual seminar for Tajik teachers of the French language gathered the Tajik Ministry of Education as well as all actors that are acting for the promotion of the French language in Tajikistan and are interested in having new generations learn French – Embassies, NGOs, and companies. The objective was to evaluate the general situation of French teaching in Tajikistan as well as related academic and professional perspectives.

As a result of the continuous degradation of Tajik educational structure, from a unified primary and secondary education under the Soviets, barely 60 percent of Tajikistan’s current school-age population is receiving educational opportunities. Through opportunities for learning and vocational training BACTRIA aims at democratizing access to information and education. |
