    A delegation composed of AGANZE MUSAFIRI Arnold, BAHARANYI BUSIME Guilaine and BIRUMBA NYEGEZI Daniel, three students and members of the Catholic community of Université Catholique de Bukavu met Pope Francis during his meeting with Congolese youth at the Nunciature on February 2, 2023.

    BUSIME BARAHANYI Guilaine, a student in the first year of her degree in the Department of Environmental Sciences, spoke on behalf of the youth of catholic universities of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    On this occasion, the Congolese youth, through their peer from Université Catholique de Bukavu, asked the Holy Father to raise their voices so that special attention be given to the humanitarian chaos through which the East of the DR Congo is passing. They also raised the issue of human rights violations that plague the population throughout the country.

    The students praised Pope Francis message of hope by committing themselves to the cause of peace and reconciliation. They concluded their remarks by pleading for the restoration of peace while denouncing the silence of the international community.
    During his speech, Pope Francis called on young people to transform society. His Holiness emphasized the restoration of peace by asking the students to wear the hat of peacemakers in their respective communities.
    Serving the community is one of the three missions of the Catholic University of Bukavu that our students take to heart throughout their studies.

  • Two UCB students discuss human rights issues internationally

    Two UCB students discuss human rights issues internationally

    [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ theme_builder_area=”post_content” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    Olivier SHUKURU and Patient MURHI, two students enrolled in the final year at the Faculty of Law of Université Catholique de Bukavu with a particular interest in issues related to sexual violence, have worked in pairs with two students from Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) on a North-South dialogue project.

    This project consists of an analysis of Congolese court decisions and aims to highlight the intercultural exchange. This collegial work is the fruit of a diversity of opinions reflected in the results of different student research. To facilitate the exchanges, the project favors face-to-face work by involving field actors. The UCL students visited Bukavu in September. A trip by UCB students to Belgium is planned in the coming days.

    The research and daily reports of the visits are posted on this blog which was created in the Rosa Parks law clinic of Université Catholique de Louvain.

    Our students motivated their interest in the issue by a bitter observation they made about the armed conflicts in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. For them, the armed conflicts being at the base of the repetitive wars have caused sexual violence, an issue that has become horrifying in view of the denomination of the world capital of rape.

    Driven by the desire to produce quality work on such a crucial issue, the students set out to update the issues of sexual violence depending on realities and contexts.

    During their field works with their UCL peers, under the guidance of Prof Trésor MAHESHE MUSOLE, SHUKURU and MURHI deplored the lack of interest and information on the issue of sexual violence. For them, this experience is a great opportunity because the issue of sexual violence alerts more than one person regardless of their background. It also allows them to go deeper into certain questions while creating a critical and collegial spirit.

    During his appearance on the American podcast The Redline, Professor BOSSISSI NKUBA, professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and researcher at the Mining and Environmental Governance Center (CEGEMI) of Université Catholique de Bukavu painted a picture of the mining boom in the DRC, focusing on its impact on local communities.

    What infrastructure are multinationals seeking to improve? How does the central government enforce its regulations at the provincial and municipal levels? What other factors lead to regulatory conflicts between national and provincial authorities? These are the questions that Professor BOSSISSI answers with expertise.

    Discussing with Michael Hillard (The Red Line Podcast), Jason Stearns (Simon Frazer University), Ben Radley (University of Bath & CEGEMI) and Emilia Columbo (CSIS Africa & Voxcroft), Prof Bossissi shows how the DRC, having the bulk of the world’s cobalt and being affected by multiple wars, can still help in the global fight against climate change.

  • Art of Creative Non-fiction : travail en ligne sur les essais entre les étudiants de Bates College et ceux de l’UCB

    Art of Creative Non-fiction : travail en ligne sur les essais entre les étudiants de Bates College et ceux de l’UCB

    [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ theme_builder_area=”post_content” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

    Dans le but d’échanger sur les essais écrits par les étudiants de l’Université Catholique de Bukavu à l’issue de l’atelier « Art of Creative Non-Fiction » tenu en juin dernier, ces derniers ont travaillé en ligne avec leurs pairs de Bates College ce 04 octobre 2022 sous la supervision de Prof. Laura Balladur et Akuzwe Bigosi.

    Cette activité s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une collaboration institutionnelle naissante entre Bates College (Maine, USA) et l’Université Catholique de Bukavu. Cette collaboration porte dans un premier temps sur l’encadrement des étudiants passionnés de littérature française.

    Cette collaboration a déjà permis à Madame Laura Balladur, Professeure au Département de Français et études Francophones à Bates College, d’organiser un atelier d’écriture sur l’art du non-romanesque créatif à Bukavu en date du 20 juin 2022.

    Une trentaine d’étudiants de l’Université Catholique de Bukavu et d’autres institutions de la ville avaient alors bénéficié d’astuces sur ce style d’écriture encore peu connu à Bukavu. Un groupe restreint constitue à ce jour une pépinière d’étudiants littéraires au sein de l’Université. Ces derniers avaient manifesté le besoin de poursuivre sur l’élan dudit atelier afin de développer leurs projets littéraires. En plus des connaissances scientifiques qui leurs sont transmises, l’Université Catholique de Bukavu encourage ses étudiants à exceller grâce à leurs talents.

    Trois textes ont été au centre des échanges. « Lettre au Prof. Bashwira Sanvura Augustin » de Gady Majegeza Floribert (étudiant en Médecine), « Le silence nous tue de l’intérieur » de Divina Gany (étudiante en Communication), « Ni peur, ni pitié » de Isia Benoît L’Africain (étudiant en Economie). Samuel Bicera Boroto (étudiant en Médecine) se joindra à la prochaine séance avec son texte intitulé « Une garde à bout de souffle ». Dans un esprit de fascination et de découverte, les étudiants de Bates, traducteurs, et ceux de l’UCB, auteurs, ont longuement échangé afin de ressortir la motivation des auteurs, les impressions des traducteurs et la critique littéraire. Pour les étudiants de Bates, cet exercice constitue une partie de leur cours de traduction pendant que pour ceux de l’UCB, il s’agit d’un challenge personnel pouvant aboutir à une publication d’essais et des romans.

    Au-delà de ce groupe d’étudiants qui va, dans les prochains jours, travailler en binômes afin d’obtenir des textes bilingues et assez développés, il s’agit d’une coopération naissante entre deux institutions d’enseignement universitaire. Le style du non-romanesque créatif est l’un des modes de communication non académique qui intéresse les chercheurs de l’UCB œuvrant aux côtés des communautés de la région.

    Les prochaines échéances vont consister en la signature d’un accord formel de coopération, à d’autres ateliers de formation plus développés ainsi qu’à la mise en place des projets de mobilités estudiantines et académiques. Bates College et l’Université Catholique de Bukavu sont déterminés à s’engager ensemble au service de la communauté.

    Child Soldiers: Dr. Christelle Molima gives a lecture at the Doctoral Law School of Université Catholique de Bukavu

    The Doctoral School of Law of the Université Catholique de Bukavu (UCB) organized a conference on “The issue of responsibility of child soldiers in the context of their socio-community insertion”, animated by Dr. Christelle Molima, this August 6, 2022 at the Bugabo Campus.

    Today’s lecture at the Graduate School was special. A moment of nostalgia invaded the scientific exchanges. Dr. Christelle Molima was the speaker of the day. On this occasion, she returned not only to the auditorium where she studied her second year of law degree more than ten years ago, but also to the place where she had to sit. The moderator, Prof. Nyaluma trained her in the same room.

    Dr. Christelle Molima is a graduate of the Faculty of Law at UCB, holds two master’s degrees – History of Human Rights and Children’s Rights – from the Université Catholique de Lyon, and she’s Doctor in Law at the Université de Genève, where she is part of the team of the Interdisciplinary Center for Children’s Rights (CIDE). She is currently a collaborator of CIDE – Université de Genève (Switzerland) and a postdoctoral researcher at Washington and Lee University (USA).

    Her dissertation “The question of the responsibility of child soldiers in the context of their socio-community insertion”, which was the theme of this conference, was awarded “Best Doctoral Dissertation in International Studies” by the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS Award). It is exciting for its methodological approach, its interdisciplinarity but also for the subject of study which is the child soldier. After a short presentation, doctoral students, master’s students and students registered at the Faculty of Law, exchanged with the speaker while reflecting on their respective research topics. The time allotted for the conference did not allow to empty all the discussions in the corridors. But the doctor reassures us that more answers can be found in her thesis to be published in few months.
