Miniyamba de Luc Pérez. As thousands of people, who leave each day their homeland, Adbu, a young Malian musician, has decided to go to Europe. A journey from the Niger River to Ceuta enclave barbwire, where dreams crush onto the harsh reality of migration, seeing western lights from afar… During all his journey, Abdu’s music brings compassion and hope to his companions.

Où je mets ma pudeur ? by Sébastien Bailly. Hafsia, an art history student, is going to have to remove her hijab to take an oral exam. She goes to the Louvre to take a look at the painting on which she has to comment.

La petite casserole d’Anatole by Eric Montchaud. Anatole is always dragging his little saucepan behind him. The saucepan fell on him one day, without anyone knowing why. It gets stuck everywhere and stops him from moving forward. Anatole has had enough, so he hides. Things are not so simple…

Les Jours d’Avant by Karim Moussaoui. Boredom reigns in a housing estate in the south of Algiers in the mid-1990s. Djaber and Yamina are neighbours, yet do not know one another. For both, it is so difficult for boys and girls to meet up that they have almost ceased dreaming about it. But in just a few days, a hitherto suppressed, distant violence breaks out in front of them, affecting their lives forever.

Like the militants who gave you the first issue, those newspapers were distributed on the streets, by yelling. It is in the second hald of the 19^th century that this distribution method became widespread, carried by a few innovative newspapers that were trying to appeal to a new popular readership.

Besides, after the invention of printing, the Rhine-Rhone route, economic and trade area, was privileged for the diffusion of printed press. So why not revive the tradition here in Grenoble?

Investing the Congress space. Beyond the multilingualism of these public spaces, the international congress comers have to take over the place. Visually, physically.

Ahead of time, through the signage and the communication mediums in many languages, in the seminar room with lists of usual words in every represented language. In investing the “environnement suscitant”, meeting and exchanging place for all congress comers, whatever their nationality is.

Physically, by familiarizing themselves with the campus. By starting their congress path by discovering the premises, understanding them, assimilate them.  By seeing and being seen. Since Monday morning, we can see a group on the campus lawns, across the university restaurant. What are those people doing so early? They are acting funny: they are running, pointing at each other, yelling “zip” or “zap”… Group leaders are everywhere and conviviality is the queen. What is happening when education and youth associations from all around the world gather? They play. Before all. And they define at the same time the basis of those two days of seminar. The attendees form a circle. We can hardly imagine more equality, all of them at the same distance, or the same proximity to each other. In their approach, the Ceméa have to use the methods that characterise them so well:  this seminar is like this circle. This is not a traditional and formal training situation, but an exchange and sharing time between peers.

They also position themselves, physically, in relation to the other congress members already there. By being a part of the overseas party. Because those attendees, who are they but representatives of an oversea? Beyond the Mediterranean for some, beyond mountains or rivers for others, terrestrial borders that are nonetheless gaps we have to fill or is it the other way around? Gaps we have to use, to highlight, to enhance. Magnifying this space and use it. Transposing, using this distance in the Congress space itself, as a way of exchanging, sharing and discovering from and with another… and so as a way of proximity.

Monday morning, we are still in the Pre-Congress time but for some work has already started. It is the case of the 40 attendees of the International Seminar. Members of associations associated with the CEMEA across the world but also militants and permanent employees of the regional associations of the CEMEA. Attendees coming from Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Belgium, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Cameroon, Hungary, Latvia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion Island and mainland France.

2015 is a year full of innovations and experimentations for the CEMEA Congress. It is especially the first time that an International Seminar is being held at the same time than the Congress. Attendees have many expectations regarding the seminar but also the Congress. Katerina, European volunteer in CEMEA Centre, is coming from Russia and is thrilled to be a part of this event that has no equivalent in her country. She thinks that she and all the other attendees can “see what is done in France and take inspiration in the experience of the CEMEA” in their respective countries. The topics addressed during the seminar will keep on feeding the conferences and the focus groups proposed through all of the Congress.

But the presence of the international seminar is also important for the congress comers. The presence of partners coming from all around the World will provide a lot to the Congress work through an intercultural insight, an exchange of experiences and activities and the discovery of others. It goes into its spirit of openness and a will to start working together, with one another again, to make up the future of the national association of the CEMEA as a part of an international network, which works only with others. The reflexion of the attendees on the topic of youth will feed the one of all congress comers.

Indeed, the goal of the 2015 Congress is to lay the basis of tomorrow’s CEMEA. “Think and act the future” tells the slogan of this 11^th edition. And who better to think and live the future than the youth? Those who carry the CEMEA today and will carry it tomorrow. But also every young person in general. Those who constitute an essential part of our societies that are at the core of our associations’ actions. It is on this topic that the European and International seminar is focusing. By questioning the position of youth in the associative life and civil society.

To question ourselves, to diagnose this situation, this role of youth to eventually offer some recommendation concerning youth and young people. But of which youth are we talking about? What is youth? Which issues do young people encounter in the different countries represented? And what about youth associations? How can we explain those problems, this situation? It is with those questions that the reflexion times of this seminar have started. By confronting their reflexions, their experiences during the week, the attendees of the seminar will be able to lay on their level the basis for the actions of tomorrow’s CEMEA in the field of youth and those of their associated associations.

Let’s meet again at the end of the week with the first elements of response and pieces of advice.

Round table debates
Educational success, continuity and consistency of time and space, education has become a collective issue, a social issue.
In times of distrust that amplifies towards the Institutions of the Republic and in times of doubts regarding the ability to influence the course of events, the school and more importantly all the educational spaces must one again become fertile lands of trust, of community life and empowerment to act promoting the construction of the civic identity.
We know that the answers to the challenges of today are of social, ideological and educational origins.
The round table debates will permit to address the following issues:
In recent year what have been social was succeeded by economic and educational issues, the reality is complex….
The project of our movement of the New Education is in itself a political project of social transformation and of emancipation of citizens. When we talk of education today we are not necessarily talking of emancipation…
The challenges that we are facing today are noticeable in both the curricular and extracurricular areas. If we had to extract, identify, prospect the 3 major challenges for a movement as ours in the future…

Laïcité, ideological references and challenges on the ground
Laïcité is currently a significantly discussed topic… The conference held by philosopher Henri Pena-Ruiz at the European Festival of movies of education in Evreux could be seen as the basis for our reflections. However, we have an ambition concerning this topic in the framework of the Congress: this is the ambition of becoming able to make a link between conceptions, ideological approach and the challenges we face on the field. The 800 activists who will participate in the Congress are all the stakeholders in the domain of education: teachers, youth workers, social workers, and educators. We need to make these ‘bridges’, these links, in order to determine, to agree, on the educational stances in the daily life. In the history of our movement we have produced several reflections on the topic, however, we must advance concerning the articulation of the conceptions (differing among the activists of CEMEA) and our experiences carried and supported by our teams every day.

Europe & International, European Issues by 2020
The geographical and political construction of the European Union, the social events that took place during the last four years (the Arab spring and the wars that followed, the economic crisis in Europe, and so on), administrative restructuration of France are only few of the different elements to apprehend the complex context in which we live. Which markers and major trends are at work?
In understanding this complex context, CEMEA distinguish three main issues: education and its instrumentalisation; the contradictory injunction between the promotion of mobility and the rejection of migration; the territory and the territories.

10 years after « les temps libérés », what future for the collective leisure time?
This activity concerns sharing the elements from the latest researches or studies (the place of the collective practices in the field of leisure and non formal education in the broader field of leisure time; who chooses and based on what criteria: families, children or young adults? what evolutions today?) but also, based on this data, to attempt to make a ‘prospective’ analysis of what we perceive as the very future for stakeholders of collective leisure and non formal education.
Psychotherapy and institutional pedagogy: Reinventing possible!
Institutional psychotherapy and intitutional pedagogy are practices, which are not only used in institutions like schools, psychiatric  and healthcare institutes .This practices have a political and pedagogical dimension and constitute a reference for our movement. In everyday life, spaces for dialogue, we call institutions, are created. These institutions developp and transform themselves, in the framework created by the speech and opinion of the group but although of each member. They are spaces for building the “living together” and its environment.

Faced with the liberal management at work in some institutions, and without any nostalgia, the support group or the council set up at school, in social centers, in healthcare or psychiatryc institutes,  provide meaning. They are places that connect people, where the desire comes alive, where the receptacle’s function of the institutional speech occurs. The aim is to reflect on what purpose does it serve and which kind of speech do we talk about. Then weaves for people, the process of disalienation from their own institution. The CEMEA can promote the emergence and creation of these institutions to survive, create, think and resist related to institutional psychotherapy, institutional pedagogy.

What place for the cultural practices today in the life of the city?
Based on the following questions ‘which place today for artistic practices in the life of the city ? And how? Why shall we support and promote artistic practices ? And how?’ we might open a reflection on the issues such as artistic production and reception of artistic propositions in a perspective of social transformation.

‘CEMEA of the Overseas’, the specificities and collective echoes
This round table debate aims at raising awareness, at sharing among congress’s participants the reality of regional associations of CEMEA from Overseas, in their singularities but also in their echoes with the movement of CEMEA. This is the opportunity as well to reflect collectively on how these associations from Overseas  are  an enrichment for all members of CEMEA in a context of globalization and in a necessary alterity with tothers in their social, cultural and political dynamics.

Movement of education and development
The collective work done in the research on ‘Education and Development’ aims at contributing to qualify, to name and to better identify the processes of development set up by the movement of education. We expect that a serious identification of this paradigm of intervention of CEMEA will contribute to build a strategic development and in this manner to face to the situations of crisis by taking into account the production activity.
The aim is less to look for ‘the’ solution, ‘the right method’ or worse,  ‘the good practice’,  than to identify and treat the aspects that will permit our movement, our association, to set in positive tension the relation between the political, social and institutional contexts in constant evolution and our identity and activities. The aim is to think and  then to act ‘the’ development, ‘our’ development, the one that we will have chosen.

All focus groups have still to be finalised but we can already say they address educational, cultural and social issues, in the heart of educational and citizen fights carried by the movement: the fight against discrimination, commitment and responsibility, school success and the fight against exclusion, the development of emancipating teaching approaches, the building of a solidary world in a durable environment, the right to mobility for everyone in Europe, the participation to the cultural diversity and the critical consideration of all media, the local development serving everyone… There will be about a hundred propositions, listed in the “Congress catalog” which will be handed on location. You will find all the focus groups, presented and indexed with keywords, allowing a global vision and stressing the diversity of those propositions.

Many fields and activities will be proposed and will allow each one to build his or her own path. They will take place on 3, 6 or 9 hours time slices. For example, activities will be proposed to discover the environment, physical and sports activities, collective games, technical and scientific hand activities, outdoor activities, expression or “media” activities…

Inside the specifically-designed areas, in different spaces of the Congress, meetings can thus be arranged to present, animate, accompany an exhibition, share an experience, discover an installation… Each of you can, according to his or her areas of interest, build his or her own path through the propositions, between permanent and temporary exhibitions, targeted meetings with other congressmen and women, national or territorial educational groups… The “arousing” environment is a core part of each congressman and woman’s path and will allow him or her to alternate the work forms and situations by managing this path. There will be no prior registration for the propositions made within the context of the “arousing” environment.
