Horizons croisés

Véronique Michel — 2019-01-08T17:17:37Z

Project summary:
HORIZONS CROSSED. Ateliers de conversation is freely inspired by the workshops organised for many years at the Bibliothèque Publique d'Information in Paris and is the subject of the documentary film "Atelier de conversation" that Bernard Braunstein directed in 2017.
These exchange moments in French are intended for people from very different backgrounds and statuses.
The aim is to invite these people to express themselves very freely on subjects promoted by a "mediator", in a cultural space; open to a wide public and conducive to cultural and intercultural exchanges.

Target audience:
Open to all, HORIZONS CROISES. Ateliers de conversation aims to attract Montpellier residents, newcomers, foreign students, migrants and refugees and audiences further away from culture.
The target audience includes participants from all nationalities and diverse social backgrounds who wish to improve their fluency in French, understand the shared culture of the host country or connect with others by sharing cultural experiences.

Characteristics:
These meetings, led by cultural mediators, aim to offer participants a space of social and cultural diversity where, beyond representations and prejudices, dialogue and listening to others help to create a social and human bond.
This intercultural dialogue will make it possible to question stereotypes and assumptions about "the other" and to forge social links.
The place of these meetings responds to a cultural legitimacy in the city while being a place of circulation welcoming very different audiences.

Staff mobilized:
Mediators: Students and former students of the Master of Cultural Studies at the University Paul Valéry - Montpellier 3.
The animation is provided by the Cultural Service of the Alliance Française de Montpellier
Coordination: Campus France and the Alliance Française de Montpellier with a coordinator, for support and logistics.

#spirou4rights

Véronique Michel — 2019-01-08T17:17:35Z

Marsupilami, Imbattable, Blake and Mortimer, Cédric, Lucky Luke, Le chat, Spirou and Fantasio... all these characters and fantasies worlds are summoned together to celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the SPIROU Journal are joining forces for a "#spirou4rights" exhibition dedicated to human rights and the Declaration. The comic strip's great talents illustrate the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration on serious and essential subjects with humour and emotion.

The exhibition "#spirou4rights", includes 17 panels made from drawing boards from a special issue of SPIROU in order to give everyone the opportunity to know and understand the universal values written in the Declaration

Inaugurated at the beginning of October 2018 at the UN headquarters in Geneva, this exhibition is presented in the Alliances Françaises in partnership with the Fondation Alliance Française, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner and Dupuis Publishing.

The Alliance Française Montpellier opens its doors and invites you to reflect on the declaration of human rights around the comic strip, a universal media that addresses serious and important subjects with humour and emotion.
