Introduction
The Kreol Institute of Seychelles came into being in 1981 with the aim of guiding the establishment of Kreol, the maternal language of the Seychellois people, as a national language both in the oral and written forms, as a language of instruction and to establish a Seychellois Kreol literature. This means of course that the primary role of the Kreol Institute is to ensure that Kreol undergoes the necessary linguistic and cultural development to be able to meet the demands of the above-mentioned functions. As such, the Kreol Institute has three major programmes aimed at :
- developing the Kreol language
- developing a Kreol literature
- promoting the Kreol Institute and its services locally and abroad.
Mission statement:
The mission of the ‘Kreol’ Institute is to promote and develop the Seychelles maternal language, ‘Kreol’ within the wider context of world creoles, through the provision of tools and facilities for its educational, scientific, cultural and technological empowerment.
