Par ailleurs le programme de stage de CRAVDMR vise à créer un cadre dans lequel aussi
bien les étudiants que d’autres personnes ayant diverses formations et qualification,
et qui débutent leur expériences professionnelles, peuvent venir approfondir leur
connaissance à travers des chantiers et stages.
Lesdits stages sont de divers ordres :
- stage qui permet aux volontaires d’intervenir dans les orphelinats
- stage de travail avec groupements des femmes et hommes dans le domaine agricole et artisanal
(fabrication de pagne, savons, batik, sculpture …)
- stage de soutien dans les centres d’apprentissages où le volontaire sera
initié aux techniques typiquement africaines en coiffure, couture, menuiserie,
maçonnerie, soudure,
- stage de soutien scolaire dans les écoles et centres de formations.
- Stage socioculturels permettant aux volontaires de découvrir l’Afrique en
générale et le Togo en particulier autrement, de vivre au quotidien dans les familles
et d’être au contact de la culture percussion, danses, fêtes traditionnelles.
C’est quoi UN CAMP CHANTIERS ?
Un chantier est une période durant laquelle de volontaires de diverses nationalités
séjournent ensemble pour développer un projet avec la population locale.
Découvrez ce temps fort qu’est le chantier, avec tous ses paramètres, la
participation à une action de développement durable, le travail de groupe dans la
bonne humeur et les loisirs.
Volontariat
Le volontariat est un acte d’échange mutuel entre une personne ou un groupe qui offre
son temps, son travail, son énergie au bénéfice d’un projet
d’intérêt général et une collectivité d’accueil qui
offre au(x) volontaire(s) un terrain d’apprentissage, d’expérimentation et de
construction personnelle et collective.
L’acte de chantier
L’acte de chantier sous-entend un projet de société, qui s’appuie sur une
démocratie où le citoyen, non seulement participe à la prise de
décision collective, mais est aussi acteur de l’application de ces décisions.
Le chantier de part sa nature (l’engagement d’un groupe d’individus dans un
projet commun) est support d’expérimentation d’une micro-société,
et où chacun est garant de la gestion et de l’évolution de ce
système
Le chantier organise des solidarités :
¨ entre les individus,
¨ Du groupe vers les individus : le groupe veillera à ce que
chacun y trouve une place et
sera attentif aux phénomènes d’exclusion,
¨ De l’individu vers le groupe : c’est là tout le sens
de l’engagement volontaire pour un
projet utile à la collectivité.
¨ Entre les groupes : c’est là la vocation de
l’intervention du groupe de volontaires, auprès de la communauté humaine vers
laquelle est organisée le chantier
Vie en collectivités
Pour chaque chantier les décisions seront prises par des responsables dans un esprit
démocratique c’est-à-dire en concertation avec l’ensemble des
volontaires. Les éventuels conflits et incompréhensions se régleront par le
biais du dialogue, dans un esprit de respect et de tolérance.
Les tâches ménagères seront effectuées par les volontaires par
l’équipe : chaque jour une équipe aura en charge une corvée parmi 4 :
Ménage, vaisselle, cuisine, corvée d’eau. Les équipes tourneront chaque
jour en fonction d’un planning établi au début des chantiers.
C’est de vrais moments de découvertes de soi et d’échanges.
Conditions matérielles durant les chantiers
Les conditions matérielles seront les suivantes :
Ø Hébergement (école, maison…)
Ø Nattes pour dormir
Ø Cuisine au charbon
Ø Latrines (W-C)
Ø Douches au seau
Alimentation sur le chantier
L’alimentation sera essentiellement togolaise, CRAVDMR-TOGO s’engage à fournir
à tous les volontaires une nourriture convenable et suffisante sur tous les chantiers.
Quelques fois des repas européens seront jumelés au menu. L’association
CRAVDMR-TOGO fournira aux volontaires de l’eau minérale.
Il est à préciser que tous les volontaires mangent ensemble à la même
heure.
Journée Type sur le chantier
Les chantiers visent tout autant à réaliser un travail d’utilité
collective qu’à promouvoir les échanges interculturels. Ainsi, ils se
dérouleront en semaine et le week-end sera consacré à la pratique
d’activité de loisirs et de découverte. Voici un prototype de journée
type de chantier :
06 h 30 : Réveil
06 h 30 - 07 h 30 : Corvées
07 h 30 - 07 h 50 : Petit déjeuner
08 h 00 - 12 h 00 : Travail sur le chantier
12 h 00 - 13 h 00 : Déjeuner + lecture du rapport de la journée

alt="mccoys1.jpg" //centerbr / pa
href="http://www.postmastersart.com/artists/jennifer_kevin_mccoy/mccoy.html"Jennifer and Kevin
McCoy/a are a married couple of New York-based artists whose collaborative work conveys a love of
film and televised narratives. Their early projects embodied database aesthetics as they chopped
shows like i8 is Enough/i, iKung Fu/i, and iStarsky and Hutch/i into short clips, often inviting
viewers to rearrange them according to what we'd now call metadata. For instance, one could choose
from a bank of DVDs in their iEvery Shot, Every Episode/i to watch every occurrence of the color
blue, or of extreme close-ups. More recent works have entailed building elaborate miniature film
sets, complete with working cameras, to shoot microfilms. In the case of iHigh Seas/i, the set is a
sort of kinetic sculpture in its own right, mimicking its subject as it moves around to create
shots of the famed Titanic loosing its footing on the ocean. The role of filmic media in
mythologizing the ill-fated boat is of course implicit in the installation. While these projects
have always been infused with a sense of subjectivity, as the artists perform their fandom through
their selective decisions, lately their work has incorporated more explicitly autobiographical
elements. Their piece, iOur Second Date/i, for instance, is a miniature movie set which features
the artists watching the film from their second date, iWeekend/i, reenacted through a mobile
sculpture and video streamed live to a tiny screen. The choice to position themselves as spectators
within their own reality, and moreover to confess that their romance budded around screen pleasure
opens up a number of interpretations of their ongoing work and paves the way to their newest
project, which opens November 22nd at a href="http://www.postmastersart.com/"Postmasters Gallery/a.
In iI'll Replace You/i, the artists again place themselves at center stage, without stepping in
front of the camera. Instead, a series of different actors (some of whom are quite miscast) play
them in enacting a "day in the life" of the artists. Of course, this day is unfathomably long in
that it includes every type of activity in which the artists, parents, lovers, and professors might
possibly engage on a given day, thus exploring the roles and experiences that constitute our
identities. Nonetheless, the fake McCoys manage to do it all, with the actors changing shift
throughout the day, while engaging with the artists' real children, students, friends, and
colleagues. The resultant video installation is accompanied by a series of photo portraits of the
artists in which passersby and friends stand in for one or another member of the couple (raising
questions about the deeper psychic or cosmic nature of compatibility and the implausibility of
replacement) and a series of "artist talks" in which actors from outside of the art world discuss
work by famous artists as if it was their own. Once again returning to the database form, the
latter piece promises to shed light on the genre conventions of art-related discourse and critique
with clips that are both humorous and poetic. Leave it to the McCoys to sketch out the formal
boundaries of a practice and then show us how fun and beautiful it can be to color within those
lines! - Marisa Olson/p piImage: Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, I'll Replace You, 2008 (Photo courtesy

alt="macbook" / br / br /Comme vous le savez, ou pas, a class="link"
href="http://www.accessoweb.com/Maintenant-je-n-ai-plus-qu-a-MAC-bituer_a4399.html"
onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;"je me suis acheté un MacBook/a
mercredi dernier et depuis j'ai eu l'occasion de le tester à plusieurs reprises, dans des
situations différentes, mais, que je vous le dise quand même, mon emploi du temps ne
m'a pas permis d'installer différents petits trucs ni de passer mon temps dessus. br / br
/J'ai pris le nouveau MacBook 13 pouces tout en aluminium équipé du nouveau trackpad
en verre. br / br /Premières impressions à la sortie du carton, c'est vraiment un
magnifique laptop, celui qu'on a pas honte à amener partout et à sortir à
n'importe quelle occasion pour frimer devant les autres :) br / br /Ensuite, je dirais qu'au
démarrage, le MAC est assez déroutant, pour un gars comme moi qui vient de passer les
20 dernières années de sa vie sous Windows. Mais cela ne va pas durer. br / br /La
suite logicielle fournie avec le MacBook me semble parfaite pour faire un peu de tout, il ne reste
plus qu'à regarder comme tout ça fonctionne mais, d'après ce que j'ai vu, pas
de gros soucis insurmontables. Je dirais même que cela semble plus facile que sous Windows
grâce à la compatibilité avec pas mal d'appareils. J'ai pu tester par exemple
avec mon Nikon, lorsque j'ai voulu le décharger, il m'a suffit de brancher le cable USB pour
voir démarrer instantanément iPhoto . Ensuite choix des images, importations et
lectures de celles-ci comme un mec qui n'avait jamais eu autre chose que des MAC dans sa vie :) br
/ br /span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"Le trackpad maintenant./span br /
br /Alors là, c'est pas tout a fait pareil. Sur les portables que j'ai eu dans ma vie, tous
les trackpads fonctionnaient de la même manière ( 1 doigt pour déplacer le
curseur, 1 tape sur le trackpad ( ou 2 ) pour valider un lien ou démarrer un logiciel. br /
br /Là, sur le MAC, du moins avec ce nouveau trackpad multi touch, il faut connaître
quelques astuces, qui du reste, une fois ancrées dans la mémoire, sont bien pratique
à utiliser. br / br / ul li class="list"1 doigt : déplacement du curseur/li li
class="list"2 doigts ( de haut en bas ou de droite à gauche ) permettent de circuler sur un
site ou autre/li li class="list"3 doigts ( de gauche à droite ) permettent de revenir
à la page précédente ou inversement/li/ul br / br / Et pour le clic, il s'agit
d'un vrai clic, comme sur une souris, en jouant sur la flexibilité du verre dans une zone
déterminée ( enfin il me semble ne pas dire de bétises ) br / br / span
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"Durée des batteries/span br / br /Bien
là, je dois dire " chapeau " . Le MacBook est vendu pour une durée de 5h avec une
luminosité d'écran à 50 % . br / br /J'ai mis la luminosité à
50% ( ce qui suffit amplement dans 98% des cas ) et j'ai déchargé (
complètement ) et rechargé la batterie 6 fois . br / br /Ma batterie pleine m'affiche
une autonomie d'environ 6h aujourd'hui et d'après les tests que j'ai pu effectuer, c'est en
dire en utilisation WIFI, et en surfant la plupart du temps, j'ai bien eu l'autonomie
signalée par l'affichage sur le MAC. br / br /span style="font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline;"Safari ou Firefox ?/span br / br /Voilà une drôle de
question que je ne pensais pas me poser un jour. Pour l'instant, je n'ai pas installé
Firefox sur le MAC, histoire de m'habituer un peu à Safari et voir comme ce navigateur se
comportait. br / br /Et bien je dois avouer que, hormis quelques plugins auxquels je m'étais
habitué sur Firefox, Safari me convient parfaitement puisqu'il offre les mêmes
fonctionnalités que Firefox. Je ne dis pas que je n'installerais pas Firefox, mais pour
l'instant, Safari me satisfait pleinement. br / br /span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration:
underline;"Oui et alors, ces MAC, il n'ont aucun défauts ?/span br / br /Si certainement
mais je n'ai pas encore suffisamment approfondi. br / br /Pourtant, à ce jour, j'en vois 2
vraiment importants br / br / ul li class="list"span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration:
underline;"la fragilité de l'aluminium/span : si vous ne saviez pas pour quelle raison il
fallait acheter une house pour votre Laptop, et bien là, avec ce nouveau Mac, sans
protection, je ne donne pas cher de l'aluminium ( je veux dire par là, que votre laptop va
rapidement se transformer en sculpture de type Art Moderne faites de rayures en tout genres )/li li
class="list"span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"Les combinaisons de
touches/span : d'un côté, cela peut être très pratique lorsqu'on utilise
un logiciel à longueur de journée. Par contre, pour moi ( et je parle bien de moi ),
cela me handicape vraiment. Je suis toujours en train de chercher une combinaison pour faire ceci
ou cela, et le pire, c'est que je n'arrive pas à m'en rappeler. Vous me direz ça va
venir, je le pense aussi, mais pour l'instant, je galère ....... parfois./li/ul br / br
/Voilà mes premières impressions pour ce MacBook 13 pouces. br / br /Alors, avant de
vous quitter, et pour ceux qui souhaiteraient laisser en commentaires un truc du style : " foutre
1200 Euros sur un truc qui rend les mêmes services qu'un laptop à 500 Euros ..... etc
.... ", ne vous donnez pas cette peine. Si j'ai acheté un MacBook, c'est que ça fait
3 ans que ça me tente et que j'ai enfin trouver les moyens de me le payer. Après
utilisation, je serais ravi ou déçu, on verra bien, en tout cas pour l'instant, je
suis plutôt ravi :) br / br / /div br style="clear:both;"/ div style="position:
