Due to its very remote geographical location, the cultural offering is rare in La Désirade. The PRC allows students but also the entire population to access various activities on and off school time: theater, dance, music. During the inauguration of this structure, they were able to participate in workshops with the Evaïana duo.

They share two unique instruments, the Native American Flute and the Chapman Stick.
