A quand l’ouverture de l’îlot de Chikly ?

L’îlot de Chikly représente une partie inédite de l’histoire de la Tunisie. Il est paradoxal que l’autorisation d’accès à un si riche patrimoine, soit encore dans les poussiéreuses étagères du ministère de la Culture. Il est nécessaire, aujourd’hui plus que jamais, de protéger, préserver et insuffler un nouvel élan à la place que devrait occuper cet îlot dans la conscience collective.

Chikly Primed for Discovery and Tunisians, Tourists Have Yet to Step Foot on the Island

In spite of being a national heritage site in plain view of the shores of Berges du Lac in Tunisia’s capital, the islet has never been officially open to Tunisians. Needless to say it is newsworthy—though curiously not in Tunisian media—that the recent completion of a study signals the imminent opening of the forgotten island to the public.

Created in 2004, Nawaat is the pioneer of alternative journalism in Tunisia and the region and provides Tunisia-centered news and analysis. As a multi-award-winning online media and print magazine, Nawaat established itself as trusted provider of coverage specialized in topical news, particularly focusing on democracy, transparency, accountability, justice, civil liberties and rights. With a healthy and qualitative video production, our media is distinguished by its audacity, its independence, its innovation and its alternative accounts of Tunisia’s current affairs. In recent years, Nawaat has begun producing highquality video productions unmatched by most other independent media actors in Tunisia or the region. In January 2020 Nawaat lunched its quarterly Print Magazine, and, in mid 2020, Nawaat has increased its efforts to further develop its multimedia platform through collaborations with artists, multimedia technicians, designers and journalists, particularly through its Innawaation media incubation program. And starting from April 2021, Nawaat launched its yearly 3-days festival to showcase its media production work to the general public. (Read more about Nawaat.)
