Ernso Sylvain – CEO of Happy Haitian Productions Institute

January 29, 2021 @ 3:00 pm

This spring a virtual group, Haitian Creole in Higher Education Conversation Club, is beginning which is a 10-week pilot initiative where once a week, Haitian Creole speakers in higher education will meet for one hour. Every week a different speaker from a different type of initiative in Haiti will speak for 20-25 minutes in Haitian Creole about their program, followed by a 10-minute question and answer period. Speakers will be from all areas including non-profits, businesses, research and various other sectors. The second half an hour of the meeting will be friendly conversation between the group participants and may also involve breakout rooms in order to accommodate different language levels and size. Participants are free to join and leave the meeting at any time during the hour. The group welcomes anyone with an interest in speaking Haitian Creole.

Happy Haitian Productions in partnership with Happy Haitian Education provides a multi-functional education program through necessary funding and supportive efforts to better the community and close the educational gap among youths and adults alike.
We teach people English skills, business principles, agriculture and training skills. The organization is located in Hinche, Haiti.
