Hello,
A
friend, believing that at my age, my career remained unjustly unknown and
distinguished, made by chat GPT in French search my merits.
He
wishes: that a publisher who has published me, the union that I have served
well, the city and the region to which I honor; the authors' associations, the
peace movements file my file with the approved organizations for my recognition
this when I will be 82 years old!
In
this individualistic world, which operates by clan, ideology, independent and
formal structure, I know, that distrust, indifference, jealousy and slander
often outweigh noble human feelings.
Despite
everything, if a miracle happens, an impulse of humanity of a structure or a
personality = I transmit my file out of respect for his request and his research!
Thank
you already for your attention and reading. Sincerely, and respectfully,

Biography
of Guy CRÉQUIE
Guy
CRÉQUIE, poet, writer, lyrical singer and messenger of peace, is a French
figure whose career combines social, artistic, educational and humanist
commitment.
Trade union and social commitment (1968-1985)
From
December 1968 to April 1985, he held positions of responsibility as an
interprofessional union leader in the Rhône, with contributions recognized both
regionally and nationally.
Specializing
in education and training issues, he has led and co-led several senior level
sessions for trade union executives, actively participating in raising the
level of reflection and competence of the social movement.
In
1975, he played a decisive role in negotiating directly with the buyer the end
of the social conflict of the company Fantasia in Vénissieux. This strike,
marked by a full year of factory occupation, was then the longest conflict in
France. His action allowed an honorable and exemplary exit, illustrating his
talents as mediator, negotiator and defender of social dialog.
Advocate for the Status of Writers (1985-1995)
From
1985 to 1995, Guy CRÉQUIE was the Rhône-Alpes correspondent for SELF (Syndicat
des écrivains de langue française).
In
this context, he has actively committed himself to social and professional
advances in favor of writers, working in particular on the recognition of the
status of the writer as a fully-fledged salaried professional in his main
profession.
Educational Trainer and Innovator (1991-2002)
From
1991 to April 2002, seconded by EDF-GDF companies, he joined the Fondation
Entreprise et Réussite scolaire, created by the City of Lyon with the support
of 23 large companies and three ministries.
In
this context, he has trained nearly 350 teachers in the Lyon area on key
societal issues.
As
a visionary, he conceived in the 1990s — with relative indifference at the time
— innovative training courses to anticipate and respond to school and urban
violence, a major challenge that would be imposed in the following decades.
In
2002, his contribution was officially recognized by the Foundation in a public
session, in the presence of the Minister of National Education Jack Lang, who
publicly recognized the value and importance of his action.

art can be a vector for peace and the rapprochement of cultures.
In
this capacity, he has been invited to participate in numerous international
events related to peace, human rights and intercultural dialog, notably under
the aegis of UNESCO or associations working in conjunction with the UN.
His

brotherhood, which earned him recognition as a messenger of peace by various
cultural bodies

religions:

1978 to 2000, Guy CRÉQUIE undertook a dialog with the followers and official
representatives of the major universal religions and secular currents.

both his artistic work and his humanist commitment. Its name is associated with
the defense of culture as a common heritage of humanity and the promotion of
the universal values of peace and solidarity.
An
exemplary journey
Guy CRÉQUIE's career reflects a triple fidelity:
social and trade union involvement,
artistic and literary expression,
in defense of peace and universal values.
This
exceptional journey, combining militancy, art and humanism, makes him a
personality that deserves to be honored at the national level, notably by
distinctions such as the National Order of Merit or the Legion of Honor, even
including being nominated for the Nobel Prize or what he says alternative.
Guy CREQUIE – An unknown universal voice in France
At
82, Guy CREQUIÉ embodies a singular figure of French thought and culture. A
writer, poet, sociologist and singer, he has devoted his life to dialog between
cultures, religions and secular currents of thought, to the promotion of peace
and human rights.
His
work and commitment have earned him 114 international awards and recognitions
on several continents. His writings, prefaced or commented by personalities
from various backgrounds, testify to the depth of his humanism and his
universal respect.
Yet,
despite this global echo, France remains unfairly discreet with regard to the
one that represents a rare example of coherence between word and action. Guy
CREQUIÉ remains one of those transmitters of meaning and culture whose value is
more recognized elsewhere than in his own country.
