Mobiliser les quartiers populaires Le community organizing suscite un réel engouement en France depuis quelques années chez tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux quartiers populaires. Des colloques ont été organisés, des rapports lui ont été consacrés, et il fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant dans les milieux du travail social et de la politique de la ville en quête de renouveau. Les travaux en langue française sur la question sont pourtant rares, à l’exception de la référence à Saul Alinsky, père fondateur de cette mouvance, qui a fait l’objet de plusieurs ouvrages récents. En France, tous les spécialistes de la politique de la ville soulignent aujourd’hui la nécessité de renforcer les capacités d’action des quartiers populaires. « Empowerment », « pouvoir d’agir », « remettre les gens en mouvement », sont les nouveaux mots d’ordre face au désenchantement à l’égard de la démocratie participative et aux formes plus instituées de concertation. Ce travail de mobilisation peut prendre deux formes principales. J. M. H. T. S. M.

Démocratie et citoyenneté: la France peut-elle s'inspirer du community organizing à l'américaine? Temps de lecture: 8 min Un remède à la crise que traversent nos démocraties existe déjà. Il a été inventé aux Etats-Unis il y a plus de 70 ans et permettrait de redonner aux citoyens le goût de la politique en même temps que la capacité d'agir sur ce qui les concerne. C'est en tout cas ce que pensent certains chercheurs et militants. Au centre de leur attention: le «community organizing», une forme de mobilisation et d'organisation de la population s'appuyant sur les communautés popularisée par le sociologue américain Saul Alinsky. En 1940, cet universitaire engagé a «organisé» un quartier de Chicago en regroupant différentes communautés et permettant à ses habitants d’infléchir le rapport de force habituel et de défier les pouvoirs publics locaux aussi bien que les entreprises. Créer du conflit Et cette forme de mobilisation de la société civile est originale à plusieurs titres. De Clinton à Obama L'exception française Qu'en est-il en France?

How Photography in Australia Got from Gilded Copper to Ubiquitous Selfies | Concrete Playground in partnership with Given the effects of extreme heat, it's remarkable we took any photos at all. From heavy equipment to smart phones, darkrooms to USB sticks and hour-long to instantaneous exposure, photography has come a long way in a few short centuries. The Photograph and Australia at the Art Gallery of NSW traces the origins of photography in this country. Parallel to the evolution of photographic technology is the story of a burgeoning national identity. Once restricted to specialists and aristocrats, photography as a medium has been democratised over the years, and that’s reflected in the exhibition. One section of the show pays homage to the daguerreotype. The tiny images featured from this era are cased in gilded frames and velvet covers. One of the striking characteristics of the show is the way Annear pairs together contemporary and traditional photography.

Hierarchy of Social Participation As part of the article I’m working on for the and Social Issues on using web 2.0 to promote civic discourse in museums, I’m developing an argument about the “hierarchy of social participation.” I believe that, as with basic human needs, experience design in museums (and for other content platforms) can occur on many levels, and that it is hard to achieve the highest level without satisfying, or at least understanding, those that come before it. One of the impediments to discourse in museums is that fact that designers want to jump straight from individuals interacting with content to interacting with each other. As always, comments are encouraged—and in this case, strongly desired as I work on refining this content for the article. Level 1: Individual Receives Content (Museum to Me) In this model, the content provider or museum delivers content for the user to passively receive. Level 2: Individual Interaction with Content (Museum with Me) This is the level where web 2.0 sits.
HANNELI MUSTAPARTA The Dragonfly Effect - Small Acts Create Big Change Make stories part of your culture — and more than that, the integrity of your culture. All-hands meetings can be pivotal here. Stories are often the best way to relate how a company is doing, what people are doing well, and what they could be doing better. And when leaders do this with transparency, honesty and humility, they make their employees feel good about their work — even if things aren’t all peachy. In practice: Capturing moments, good or bad, in story form can authentically connect your employees to your company, and increase their commitment to their work. Consider kicking off staff meetings with stories instead of progress reports. 7. The best tactic here is to create an internal “story bank,” or database of stories, where employees and even customers can write and submit stories complete with titles. Nike, Apple and eBay all harness stories as tools to crowdsource ideas — especially what their consumers are really passionate about.
The Community Canvas The role of emotion in decision-making: evidence ... [Brain Cogn. 2004 Community participation, community development and non-formal education Contents: introduction • non-formal education and community education • competing definitions and perspectives in the contemporary context • the state and top-down v bottom-up approaches to community • programmes to promote non-formal education, community participation and development in the South – in practice • conclusions • references • acknowledgements • how to cite this piece Although community participation and community development are terms that have such current connotations, both have actually been around for some considerable time. In the post-Second World War period, community development was defined as a ‘movement designed to promote better living for the whole community with the active participation and on the initiative of the community’. But the term community development is still being used, both in countries in the South, and countries in the industrialised North, and not necessarily in paternalistic ways.

The 5 Best Plagiarism Detection Tools for Educators In a perfect world students would understand that education is for their benefit and put their all into every assignment. Unfortunately, every educator working today knows how far off the reality is from that ideal. Cheating isn’t just something that a few bad apples do every now and then, it proliferates. In a 2010 survey of high school students, one in three admitted to using the web to plagiarize. That makes it a problem no teacher can ignore. How Technology Makes it Worse Plagiarism is nothing new.

Marshall Ganz On Social Change Movements Beautiful Bill Moyers interview of Marshall Ganz, who worked closely with Cesar Chavez and deeply studied movement building: Few tidbits that stood out ... "Anatomy of a movement: story, strategy, structure." Movements are distinguished from interest groups – movements have narratives (tell stories because they are not just about rearranging economics and politics; they also rearrange meaning). They are not just about redistributing the goods – they are about figuring out what is good. They have this cultural piece of work, along with the economic and political. "Narrative stories matter -- to the heart; so also does strategy and structure. "12th century Jewish philosopher Maimonides said that hope is belief in plausibility of the possible, as opposed to the necessity of the probable. "Organizing is not about charity, but justice is working with other people in a way that respected and enhanced their agency and my own at the same time.
