Hi, This is practical information for the foundation of UEEH 2012!

If you do not already know, this year there are two important information to know because UEEH will not be as usual. First, the foundation has been convened to take stock since 2003 (date of last beds) and see how we want to continue the UEEH. There will be some time slots for people who want absolutely workshops but this is not the subject of this edition. In the evening we try to organize a few parties but nothing comparable with other years. Moreover, following a change of status of the school of fine arts, our usual place, we chose to sit in the city center and therefore to choose a city u in town too!

All the detail is explained by clicking this link.

But for now, here are some practical information to facilitate your arrival.

IMPORTANT!! If you want to join us this summer, please read this page before you visit the website!

This year, the UEEH faces unexpected changes! First the “foundations” were summoned instead of the event we usually organize, This means that this summer, the meeting will be focused only on the purposes, goals and means of the organization of the an event. And, remember well, this meeting will be held in the city center of Marseille and NOT on the campus of Luminy, we will also be housed in a CROUS (student dorms) downtown. They will run from July 14 till 22!

Below you will find all the information available at this time. We will try to update this page as soon as changes might occur. We invite you to come back to visit this page regularly.

Why a “foundation” meeting?

Because, regarding theoretical as well as practical issues, the Board itself was not able to provide solutions. The General Assembly has to be convened to do so.

Why the “foundation” will NOT take place on the campus of Luminy?

For over ten years, the UEEH took place at the ESBAM, (Fine Arts School of Marseille) on the campus of Luminy. In January, the school which changed its administrative status in September 2011, coming the ESADMM (School of Arts and Design in Marseille Mediterranean) – announced us the availability (free) which we could benefit so far was not going to prevail anymore and that the occupancy would be charged now over 40,000 euros! We thought at first to receive a grant to cover this cost. But after many months of waiting, seeing nothing coming despite our requests to the city hall (the usual funder for this issues) to find an arrangement, we decided a month ago to find a solution that we could financially cope. So we walked through Marseille and tirelessly searched all possible support. Finally we found a place near the old port at unbeatable rates! This research has not been easy for us, so we rely on your warm understanding for the short time between this announcement and the start of UEEH.

The prospect of changing place precisely in the year we organize the foundation meeting has many benefits. This year we will be closest to the several organizations in Marseille who spontaneously supported UEEH during various complicated steps that have marked their organization this year. This change of venue is an incredible opportunity to mingle with a new population, involved at local level and causes a breathing which UEEH have a great need. Moreover, the change of scenery will undoubtedly lead to a collective awareness of the problems the association is facing in recent years and help the collective thinking about it.

Where will the “foundation” take place?

Remember this address: “Centre d’Animation Sylvabelle”, located at 71 rue Sylvabelle”. This is where the venue will be. In this building, we have at our disposal 8 rooms of different sizes (from very small to very large) over the duration of the meeting, except Wednesday (day of the symposium!) And Friday afternoon noon (only six rooms). These rooms are spread over two floors accessible by elevator. We will not be all alone in this place. The director and technical staff will be there during business hours and office location is open to the public. A lottery and a ball of 3rd age will be held Wednesday and Friday afternoons. We can probably negotiate to have the 4th floor continuously for the participants, but it’s not yet sure. The manager is UEEH friendly, she knows a little about the event but the other people we will cross in Sylvabelle have never heard of us.

Where do we sleep?

We managed to get a dorm in town: the CROUS CORNIL located at 168 rue Saint-Pierre. Two floors will be made available for us with two rooms on each floor for people in wheelchair. This campus is accessible with a badge, so if the day of your arrival you arrive after 22h, thank you for notifying us in advance by sending an email example so that the guard leaves the gate open. For the rest you will have a magnetic card, do not worry.

How do we move in Marseille?

A carpooling topic was created on the french forum so you can read or leave announcements to come to or to leave from Marseille.

The two places are separated by a few subway stops away or a twenty minute walk to the bravest of us. We have applied for mayor for the travel of participants are supported. We can not promise anything about it now, but maybe it’ll work out. Remember to bring an ID card and a passport photo for you to get a week pass for public transportation at 15 euros. For those who do not want to or can not do, there are 10 trips cards at € 13.80. View full details on the website of RTM (Regie des Transports de Marseille). We will keep you informed as soon as possible for potential support.

Sylvabelle is located clos to metro station “Estrangin Prefecture” and the city subway to the student hall is “Timone” (near the tramway station “George”). Both stations are on the same line, and are accessible from the “Gare Saint-Charles” metro station (line 1)

Metro: Weekdays open from 5 am to 23h (last departure from Terminal 22:30)
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and football game nights: open from 5am to 1am (last departure from Terminal 0:30)
Tram: Every day open from 5 to 0:35 (last start)

Sylvabelle is located between the Old Port and Notre Dame de la Garde and the CORNIL student hall is not too far from the “cour Julien”, an area with lots of nice little bars and not too expensive restaurants in the pedestrian streets and sunny squares and large lively evening. The other places in which we will perhaps be able to organize something are around the Saint-Charles station and Réformés Métro/tramway stations.

What is the program of the foundations meeting ?

Saturday 14 (all day) and Sunday, July 15 (morning) will be devoted to the installation and the preparation of the Opening General Assembly on Sunday afternoon. Regarding the week, it will depend on what we have decided at the opening GA, so try to be there if you want to participate in the selection of content. We have Sylvabelle every day from 9am to 22:00 (maximum). Wednesday and Friday afternoonsthe place will host activitieslike a ball of the third age on Friday and lotto (for seniors too) on Wednesday. We unfortunately can not make our parties there, but we have other places in town for that and they expect you to organize something (see below). Then Sunday, 22 July, the morning We will remove and unsettle and the General Assembly will close the afternoon.

Is there going to be workshops? And places like cuddlezone, chill out, fringothèque, etc… ?

We thought that some would absolutely organize workshops, despite the 2012 specificity. So we thought about keeping non-competitive time slots for this apart from the moments for debate and work relating to the foundations. Feel free to say what you think on the forum here. The opening General Assembly will decide on this issue. It may be possible to set a calinodrome space, the fringothèque or chill out space at Sylvabelle, on the 4th floor. But, given the lack of rooms, it will probably be in our meeting rooms. So they will not be usable. We will meet with the Director of Sylvabelle next week and we have more information at that time. These places will not exist if no one installs them on Saturday or Sunday morning. Thank you for planning your arrival according to what you want. The board is reduced by this end of the year and regarding the unusual organizational workload this year, we count on you to support the installation (and uninstallation) of these spaces, – provided that Sylvabelle’s direction is OK, of course !

And the symposium?

The symposium on “disability and sexuality in a feminist LGBTQIF activist perspective” will be held Wednesday, July 18 at the House of the region (Maison de la Région) , at 61 rue de la Canebière, from 14:00 till 18:30. No “foundation” debate will be scheduled on Wednesday afternoon.

And for the evenings? Parties?

Different structures are prepared to lend us their spaces for the organization of our parties and convivial moments. A commission for the organization of parties and convivial moments is already constituted and we hope it will grow with a variety of projects and people to make them happen. Thank you for writing us contact2012@ueeh.net or in the forum topic dedicated to make your proposals. As before, the board will not be able to set everything up due to unusual workload and redruced team, we count on you to make this commission a real success!

How and where registration will take place?

The conditions of registration are the same as last year, the three usual rates in financial self-determination. Go on https://inscricao.ueeh.net/ to submit your registration. Registration will be open all day Saturday, Sunday morning and Sunday evening, but only after the opening general assembly. For other days, a permanent registration should take place at night. There will be no registration during the day because we do not want registrators to be penalized if they wish to attend the meetings. A secure luggage storage will be provided for those joining us at Sylvabelle’s place before being properly registered. It is essential that all pre-registered people arrive with their registration number to collect your access badge to the building. The Registration Committee will soon be able to give you the times and places of registration.

Let’s start preparing the 2012 UEEH foundation meeting together using the online forum !

The success of this conference in 2012 is the condition of the perpetuation of the association and event in the coming years. Thus, in order to make possible that each of us takes over key issues of this foundations meeting, several topics and messages have been posted on the forum of UEEH. (in french)

Several themes are suggested for the moment:

- Which content? In your opinion, what topics would you like to see addressed?

- Which program? How could they be carried on all week? Which Schedule-s? Times for talks? Times for work? Small group-s? Large group? Distribution on the building …

- Which goals do you want to achieve during these meetings?

- Which type of decision making? How will we take decisions during this meeting?

The afternoon of Saturday 14, a group will oversee the synthesis of all these points in order to propose an agenda for the seats to be validated during Sunday 15 afternoon’s general assembly …

The commission “Collective management” speak …

“Flash Recycling operation : as a gift or a loan, please bring with you pencils, scissors, plastic tableware, accessories, games and outdoor activities … in brief: everything that you think could be useful and enjoyable for this meeting ! ”

Hoping to see you many in Marseille on Saturday, we wish you a pleasant early summer!

The UEEH board met during the last weekend of May to continue the planning of the 2012 UEEH.

There’s been numerous unexpected events which threatened our organization for this year. The school has a new legal statute, which implied new and high rental costs for us. Furthermore, the CROUS -accommodation provider- also has highly increased its prices. But despite all of these, it now appears that the UEEH may be allowed to use the school’s building for free, we’re currently following this lead. Furthermore, we’re also  working on negotiating lowered accommodation prices.

But regardless of these good news, these are very tough times for the UEEH.

From a financial point of view, they’ve never been as close from their end. Because of this, we’ve had to take some strong decisions. It is sadly obvious that we won’t be able to organize them as usual, unless we want to put the association in situations of insolvency. That would mean the end of the UEEH.

In 2009, various workshops regarding the future of the UEEH and in 2011 a whole day on this issue had been organized, but they didn’t bring solutions to ensure the existence of the UEEH in the future. So this year’s UEEH will only last for one week and won’t have as their sole objective that a general meeting of the association can take place. This meeting will allow to collectively decide about their future and how we can make it possible.

The questions we must face today are : does the UEEH still have a future ? And if they have, what form should they take ? Who’s ready to set them up ? How ?

Practically, they’ll begin on Saturday, July 14th and end Sunday, 22th. Preregistrations are now open on https://inscricao.ueeh.net/ .

The first two days will be dedicated to setting up and registration, the last two to  cleaning and uninstalling everything. The meetings will open on Monday, July 16th in the morning and close on Wednesday, July 20th evening. Full meetings as well as thematic workshops are to be expected. The detailed agenda is to be expected in a next newsletter.

The symposium on “Handicap and Sexuality, from an Activist and Feminist Standpoint” is planned, and will take place on Wednesday, July 18th.

Because we do care a lot about exchanging and meeting with people, and because we believe that the UEEH are about making contacts and creating activist networks, the parties, the  collective tools and permanent spaces dedicated to conviviality, health and wellbeing will be organized ; but the days will be only dedicated to meetings.

This is an exceptional moment in the life of the UEEH and we really hope to see you there.

Politically, they need a new breath in reflexion. The more people there’ll be at these meetings, the more chances the UEEH will have to stay alive and last long. it is now or never that we’ll give them a project which will match what their members, in all their diversity, expect. Redefining from scratch the association’s objectives and bylaws will create new dynamics to provide new, collectively created, grounds.

The UEEH are financially at the end of their capacity. Decisions must be collectively taken on this topic, which make these meetings unavoidable.

This 2012 summer offers the association its last chance to gather people (regulars attendees or newcomers) who care for it, so that decisions come from all the people and not from the 10-or-so in the board. More than ever, we hope for a strong and massive involvement.

Last December, we wanted to open a debate on our forum on self-management and what it implies, during the UEEH and elsewhere. We feel it’s important to remind you all that this debate is still open and that your reactions, questions and suggestions are expected with great interest. The UEEH forum <http://labs.ueeh.net/forum/> is an amazing tool for collective work whose results aren’t at the level of its potential. We then invite each and everyone of you to bring your ideas so that the exchange between all of us may start before July, and be constructive.

We thank you for this attention and for the interest you will give to the particular edition and we hope to see you from the July 14th to 22nd on the Luminy Campus (Marseille, France) for the UEEH 2012 meetings.

See you soon,

The UEEH exec board

For information, the lost key to a room in a renovated building is charged € 35.10 and 9.50 € in a traditional building. The day of your departure, you will be asked to clean your room and bring the sheets, blankets and bolsters down in the lobby of the building in which you have been accommodated. Your deposit will be delivered personally, mailed back or destroyed at your request once the inventory of your room made and validated. We negotiated with the CROUS to clean rooms and entire buildings ourselves in order to reduce the final bill. So everyone is invited to make their room clean, to relieve the work of those who clean the rooms when uninstalling. Your attention is drawn on the PRM rooms. They are intended for disabled people. If this is not your case thank you to take a classic room.
