description Hélène Cabanes (06/071919-19/11/2010) occupies a place of prime importance in the beginnings of the teaching of Occitan in post-war public schools. From the Liberation onwards, she took part in all the battles; union activist, Freinet activist and above all Occitanist activist. Responsible for the Public Education Office of the Société d'Études Occitanes, the SEO, by creating the Antonin Perbosc Group using Freinet techniques which she pushes to the end by bringing out the Occitan language of child's words. She created La Garba occitana, a compilation of children's occitan writings, and at the same time engaged in the creation of a political literary magazine, L'Ase negre. But, due to lack of money and aid, both material and moral, the Antonin Perbosc Group and L'Ase Negre stopped when the latter resigned, with La Garba Occitana following shortly after. Two years later, Robert Lafont and Félix Castan created the Pedagogical Section of the IEO and will reintegrate Hélène Cabanes into the educational activity of the Institute. She will therefore appear on the Editorial Committee of the journal that will be created, the Bulletin Pédagogique which then transforms into Cahiers Pédagogiques, a journal that she directs from 1960 to 1964 then at Vida Nòstra which she also directs. We will also note her participation in the founding of the MLCR (Secular Movement of Regional Cultures) and the liaison work that she organized around her friend Raoul Bayou, then deputy for Hérault (and former member of the Antonin Perbosc Group) with a view to table a bill in favor of the teaching of regional languages.This fight does not end when she retires. She taught Occitan classes at the Agde high school and then created the Cercle Occitan d’Agde. Her last fight will be that for the opening of a calandreta in Agde, the Calandreta dagtenca of which she was the Honorary President until her death.
