school for me one of the roles of
school is to bring these students there
where they would not go alone I’m going
to talk about unlikely encounters
since 2002 I am a teacher
relay class relay classes home
middle school students so between 11 and 16 years
in school dropout the stall
manifests itself in many ways that
can be out of school altogether going
up to phobia absenteeism
it can also be students who
have civility behaviors
provocation is also the
reports that we often see when he
there are reports on relay boxes
to TV news but it can
to be also students who are
present physically and in a very
great passivity and so who are
silent dropouts so I
works with students who are in
difficulty in whatever they are in
difficulty at school but that puts
also the troubled institution a
coaching in relay class can
last two months three months six months but
it never goes beyond a school year
not to be a plateau
guidance
so every month there are entries and
permanent outings
there are 300 relay classes in France if we
press there are two relay classes and we
we made the choice to operate
timesharing
ie the student at his college
he stays in his college class and
comes two or three half days on
the relay device we made this choice
operating which is a little
particular like that there is no
break with the ordinary class
so that’s important for
teens to be like the others and
in addition it allows us to work
very small groups
three four five students so in a
week I can see twelve young and on
a year between 20 and 25
coaching in class relay that
starts with a first interview
even if it happens he is accompanied
with his mother during the first interview
I always ask the student to
to decline a little bit
school who tells me about how that
happened
so I ask you your school
kindergarten was where he told me no
worry because you have memories
small section average section
good bad memories he tells me
I was bad we go to school
primary declines cp ce1 classes
and there is nothing I was not zero
currently he was in school
educated in 4th
we arrive at the college and there everything from
following he tells me even more void
relay class students have all
singular stories but to
something that is recurrent
I have all these young people that they do not have
they do not have they have a very image
degraded the same they did not
able to build
and finally when we are not able
build and Ben is far away
fold in on yourself or refuse
what to do good if I
reproduce the same things as in the
ordinary classes bassa general the
same effects and will anchor these
good difficulties I’m a teacher
so I have the same goals as my
colleagues and I also have the same
requirements namely acquiring the
common base the project I’m going to you
present tonight that I set up
in my second year of class
relay is the cross between them of
reflection and three first observations
reflections the priority and b that’s
to give a positive image
to these young people so that he
go to new learning
that they take pleasure in learning
so really give them confidence in
them second reflection this is a
conviction it is important to propose
students complex tasks to no
not confused with complicated even though
we are struggling to over simplify
the work keeps the student in
do it realization at the expense
of reflection and suddenly it makes them
dependent on the expert of the one who
know and so that the inks even more
in a form of passivity
wait-and-see so the pedagogical choice
what I did was to propose
students at task tasks
complex and steeped in the real make
for real operating mode
project
and the three observations that led me
brought to propose the first project
finding in society the public
seniors and adolescents do not
meet or hardly any
spontaneously there is no place
and we know that ignorance
generates cliches the rejection so
first constan second finding one is
in 2003 it is said that teenagers
know how to use the internet it sounded
with out
certainly they have skills but they
always do the same things and
third finding the elderly
do not know internet or little gold if
we do not associate them with this mode of
communication is to this culture
digital
they will be further sidelined
of the society
I remember my mother who
was watching his newspaper west france and
who was very annoyed to see these
three w’s still asking me but
what are these three w
so the crossing of these two
reflections of these three findings have
brought to propose the project
intergenerational intergeneration
it’s the meeting between college students
relay classes and people
elderly who are in residence around
of internet the students after a
thoughtful use training
reasoned and constructed of internet
and then an awareness of the
posture of trainers surrender of two
once a week so in the residence
to lead workshops to make
discover internet to explain from
show to the residents we put in
places the first workshops in 2003
so you say you what is that
I was doing with 1.7 in 2003 we were
put in the retirement home the
teulier projects in 2003 during the first
workshop the meeting yet unlikely
to between the elderly
the meeting took place the students have
took their role of trainer very
serious
they had been given a mission
Mission do for real so we the
recognized a knowledge and people
elderly base was delighted to be
interesting for teens in
the more she aim for something other than this
that she usually did at the
residence
they are also able to go
towards novelty what is it when
even reassuring
and then she realized that she
still had a role in education
of these teens the kim is when
even an institution in difficulty
so the project after we will continue the
content of the workshops to evolve into
function of the evolution of the technique
but the operation is still
stayed a little bit like knowing the
students before going to the studio they
prepare activities
he is he founded supports of
training so that’s interesting because
that they put themselves in the shoes of
elderly it changes point of
view and when we change the point of view
it’s still the beginning of
opening when arriving at the workshop which
can accommodate between five and fifteen
elderly the three four five
college students shake hands with all
attendees
and then to older people are
already often installed in front of
computers and so here is it gone
for an hour the students take in
hand the workshop
I forgot to tell you anyway
we are in 2003 when I proposed
intergenerational workshop there was
partners who had said everything about
ok continuation including a director of
residence he said to me I do not mind that
it’s happening in my home a
brest association ended up had
offered to help me to inform
teens
and then the city of brest had
installed in the room in the
residence a room only for the
workshops with computers
this room was opened
after to the public and became a paper
a public access point to the internet
so here we are at the workshop so you
visualize so let’s go for a
steven time today he imported
his internship report he had talked
with jean desse of his internship that the leaf
in plumbing because people when they
you have activities he works in the
building
two days before steven had made his
internship report had said my
amazement when I saw that he had
wrote his internship report in police
in size 36 and he tells me yes yes my
people do not see it well so he had
make this choice
marie louise is already installed marie
luce is in a wheelchair is already
installed it is hardly the
head to look at the screen she has
used to work with roanne
cold settles next to her and
then today she decided to
meet her cousin so she dictates
his email
roanne and the keyboard she looks when
even on the screen because roanne and
spelling is not always lé
shovel eventually the words and roanne
had carefully enlarged
characters take a student who has a
rather hectic school path
enamelled of several tips of
discipline behavioral problems and
at the end of his time to the devices
relay last workshop he tells me
I would like to leave earlier
I want to go to the florist
to buy a rose because I have
want to offer marie-louise in the end
workshop
we hear the elderly who
thank the middle schoolers I hear
gaetan finally say we forget they
are old we talk to them as
friends
finally had with respect anyway
students use methods
active to animate the workshops and
in particular puts the elderly in
production situation
it’s not both use internet
like as consumers it’s
better to be an actor so we proposed
co writing activities and
especially a blog we had opened a
longages blog that were bilingual
French standardized SMS language
this election was pretty funny
because the elderly were
delighted to learn the sms language like
it could not thy their
grandchildren their little backs
children she and college students husband
could enjoy one of the skills
elderly people we were well
sure an exchange of skills the
residence also hosts
retirees who come flowers
different activities
and then we saw these retirees
move paper closer to the access point
public to the internet so from our room
our door is always open
they entered they stayed and they
came back
So we end up with three
generations the very old up
95 96 years old retirees and
college students there the content of the workshops
also
enriched because he had asked for it
are more precise the arrival of networks
social workers the students formed the
seniors use facebook
skype finally and it’s sometimes the student
had to make a presentation
to the whole group and he was obliged
of requests milteau joystick is obliged
to ask a little silence
because well what and where
when I met the pupil’s gaze
I could see that they were taking
measuring posture not always easy
trainer or teacher
realized that people
older rise in skills so we
wanted to do validation of
acquired
college students have created patents
and there the elderly were
quite in the posture of a
not taking what was pressing before
pass the patent and then he was
drily moved the day he was receiving
the patent because they had the
congratulations from the trainer in 2012 the
tablets have arrived and we know we have
quickly seeing that taking control of
tablets was complicated for
the elderly
so we imagined doing a screen
simplified home with icons
bigger shortcuts more obvious
so always with students one when
I say we are always with the
students and suddenly we went
close to engineering students from
telecom bretagne new meeting
improbable because the students
engineers it’s the students for whom
school was a success
college students or it’s a little
complicated so they do not cross too much
so we got closer to the students
engineers we worked very well
we put in place an application that
is called grandpa launcher and in the end I
see the students will tell me
finally they are nice and
even found centers of interest
common
then we continued collaboration on
bought a robot
humanoid in 2014 now is here what to do
with now complex task always with
the students what are we going to do
if it was obvious that nao was going
come to intergenerational workshops
so we got closer to new
students weary of the designers who are
come with us to workshops for
see how now can help
to people in loss
nomi the first exit from now to
intergenerational workshop it was
a big moment
the meeting between na ho and the
seniors a great moment
new encounters
improbable and naos was becoming a vector
of social bond
so we created scenarios for
use now and for setting up
applications we used our
engineering students with whom we had
already had contacts
all these unlikely encounters there
they contributed to these
students find confidence in themselves
they have reinvested in
proposed works we find the desire and
even the taste of learning and they have
changed their relationship to knowledge
so they hung up the days for
take good care of us
we do not feel integrated
and that makes us stall and even
sometimes skid
and when we feel summer
it helps us to move forward and to old
stroke
it helps them
iran no longer respectful
also more
need that one
make happy confidence
at the residence to express himself weave
[Music]
Hello
remained calm and if we are
she argues with words
he
fewer students per class in addition
everyone to take
in the welcome
with
no
regain our confidence and want
study
[Music]
and so that we are all a job more
to be proud of what cook did
plumber or
bah
and learn that you own pace
done to move forward
person’s body
that’s it
in this weight here
and everything is there
[Music]
to see grow without
he grows up
/
and common
to be helped
students
[Music]
they are
as if
[Music]
come
this
[Music]
students at all times to say one
tends to teach us
take the time to read
consider them as valid
they know what puts them in check
and let’s do a college together for the
well-being of all
mix generations created from
unlikely dating opportunities
trust help people to
regain confidence in her it generates
a dynamic to be able to create
together and therefore better live together
because to live better together
must do together
in the beginning I said I’m
teacher I rectify I was
teacher until September 1st
now it’s up to you I’m doing you
trust from where you are with your
means with your means
imagine how to create meetings
improbable and especially dare and at the years
[Applause]
