by lianglei on Nov.06, 2009, under culture

It is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Inspired by the concept of the Green House in Paris, founded by Françoise Dolto, the “Island House” in Clermont, is involved in the socialization of toddler, from 0 to 4 years. It is a reception, meeting, sharing and listening. Discuss the complexities of parenting, the difficulty of “growing up”, this place also helps break the isolation of young mothers and foreigners newly arrived in the region. “We try to be fully present to the joys, discoveries, loneliness, suffering and problems raised by each other,” says one of the leaders of the structure.
Here, children accompanied by a reassuring person (mother, father, grandparents, nanny) are welcome Tuesday through Friday from 15 am to 18 pm 30. During these times, everyone comes when he wants and still the time he wants, without registration.
Through play, sharing, silence, one learns citizenship. It is a place where the child is assured that his or her accompanying mother will not let him alone. And it is in relation to cheap aion that will experience the separation, and socialization.
The house is sponsored by CAF, CPAM, the General Council, DDASS and the city of Clermont. A financial contribution of parents in their path, left to their discretion, also operates.

Cons withdrawal Community

by lianglei on Nov.03, 2009, under culture

Meet Florence Taubmann for three years pastor of the Reform Temple of Limoges, as it recently celebrated its 150 years.

Florence Taubmann - The 150 years were honored last year with a series of lectures and concerts, in particular through the involvement of the association RPCL ( “The reform is its cultural heritage in Limoges). This helped to open the temple on the city, to revitalize our spirit of openness towards civil society and other communities. We have recently established an interfaith group between the three major monotheistic religions, Christians, Jews and Muslims. We are also very active within Acacia group exchange between Christians and Freemasons, and in the Judeo-Christian Friendship, which I hold the national presidency. Protestants have a reputation for austerity and discretion, but we have to heart to avoid any withdrawal community.

F. T. - The story begins in the 16th century, but died before 1685 and the revocation-tion of the Edict of Nantes. We stumbled here on this very Catholic church with its orders, its guilds, its Ostensions. It was not until the 19th century Protestantism against his return to Limoges with industrialization and the eteranl provision of certain large families such as Haviland. Today Reformed Protestantism has approximately 200 families in the metropolitan area.

The originality of the French Alliance is its tasks are to develop at the same time teaching the French language and taste cultures in the Francophone world. These two basic tasks associated with talent development and local cultures, although a proposal is “alternative culture”. Because the discovery of the French language is necessary for the discovery of this “cultural alternative”, the French Alliances in China very regularly organize many activities. The network programming is intended to be the image of French culture and contemporary French: rich, varied, open dialogues and exchanges.

At the heart of French cultural gatherings in China, the French Alliance works closely with the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in China, foreign embassies and consulates in China, the most prestigious cultural institutions in China (conservatories, academies theater, concert halls …) and many business partners. In this logic of partnerships and exchanges, the Alliance Francaise has actively participated in the celebrations of “Crossed Years” France-China between October 2003 and October 2005 and participates every year at the festival Crossings (since its first edition in 2006) or to the International Week of Francophonie.

French Alliances in China are also included events each year throughout the network: the “Night of advertising Francophone” in March, the Music Festival in June, the feast of the “Beaujolais Nouveau in November, etc.. And of course it throughout the year, a program that honors all facets of the culture of French music (song, jazz, classical music, modern music …), theater, storytelling, lectures, exhibitions of painting, drawing, or photo …
Such activities are aimed at an audience of Chinese students, but more broadly to the entire Francophone and Francophile community Chinese, so many opportunities to meet and share a common taste for all aspects of francophone cultures.
