Our partners
The Alliance for Reading is a collective of 70 structures from the cultural, social, educational and anti-poverty fields that encourages volunteerism, public generosity, sharing and new commitments for the future in favor of practical actions for people who do not have access to reading. On November 24, 2021, the French Prime Minister awarded the alliance the label Great National Cause 2021-2022 dedicated to “reading as a factor of social inclusion”. The alliance became a non-profit organization on March 9, 2022 – www.alliancepourlalecture.fr.
Because there can be no scientists, and therefore archaeologists, without learning to read, ArkeoTopia supports the actions of the alliance and was officially received as an associate member in April 2022 for its actions in favor of reading (resources such as those of Augustin’s World, events such as #JeLisArchéo, promotion of reading such as its participation in the Reading aloud entry on Wikipedia, etc).
