Cette année sera riche de développements en ce sens avec : l'accueil de délégations d'Algérie, de Tunisie, de Turquie, du Liban, d'Espagne et du Portugal.
Un axe de travail s'est développé autour des questions d'éducation aux questions LGBT auront une place Nous avons été sollicité par l'association GALE (réseau mondial d'éducateurs travaillant sur les questions LGBT) qui organisera des ateliers sur le storytelling/témoignage dans une perspective de sensibilisation, de formation et d'empowerment tout en intégrant la question des droits humains et de leur application dans des contextes géographiques et culturels différents. Ces ateliers donneront lieu à un festival de storytelling aux UEEH, et des participantes d'Europe du Nord et de l'Est, d'Amérique Latine, d'Afrique et d'Asie animeront et participeront à ces ateliers (les traductricEs de l'anglais vers le français seront plus que bienvenuEs!!).
Ces ateliers autour du STORYTELLING seront animés en anglais du fait de la participation internationale, ils seront traduits en français chaque fois que nécessaire avec l'aide des traductricEs volontaires.
La plupart des ateliers STORYTELLING seront ouvert à toutEs, éducatricEs, enseignantEs, militantEs, ou toutE participantE désireusE de découvrir ces outils et/ou de s'y former. Véritable plateforme de formation, le festival de storytelling permettra de partager les découvertes et travaux de chacunE.
Certains ateliers (track 4 : redeveloping storytelling toolkit) se feront en non-mixité et seront réservés aux participantEs déjà engagées sur des projets mobilisant ces outils, notamment dans les pays du Sud et de l'Est.
En voici une présentation, en anglais, le programme définitif sera accessible dès l'ouverture des UEEH 2010 sur le site de l'ESBAM, le lundi 19 juillet. pour toute question : <contact2010@ueeh.net>
Draft Programme GALE Workshops in UEEH.
Storytelling can be a powerful tool to empower people, to educate and to put social issues on the agenda. However, story collection and storytelling are not always easy to do. The stories about daily life need to be put in context of human rights and presented in specific ways to empower LGBT audiences and to educate mainstream audiences.
Trans/Sign and the Kartini network have developed a lot of expertise on collecting and analyzing stories. Empowerment and Trans/Sign will collaborate on how to enhance these experiences in collaboration with local partners in Indonesia, the Philippines, Burundi, Latvia, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
Partners from these countries, storytelling volunteers from Europe and Canada and representatives from youth groups will be brought together at a summer school where they will take part in a training and toolkit development program. For the summer school, we are looking forward to collaborate with the Universités d’Eté Euroméditerranéenne des Homosexualités (UEEH).
Objectives
1. to exchange views and methods on storytelling
2. to offer training about storytelling
3. to improve the tools from the Storytelling Toolkit 1.0
4. to enable partnerships between storytellers from the East-West, North and South
