Street Pedagogy
Hi Attac activists, Could we share ideas ...to be understandable outside of Attac, in the street, during a public event ?In our local group in Provence, we developed to that end some effective devices with common properties:-Unusual, strange ! People come to have a look.-Delivering simple, clear and strong messages. An introduction to ask for more.-Inviting people to act (press a button, turn a wheel) in a symbolic way...mind is free for a moment-Aesthetic, pacific. The media take pictures and carry onwards our message...3 pictures are attached. They show a fake roadsign "Citizen Choices/Carrefour des choix de société/Kreuzung zur Wahl der Gesellschaft" - the German language version was produced at the Austrian AktionsAkademie in Linz.Year after year, pictures of the panel appear on bookcover, publications, cartoons....I will try to describe other tools that support explanations about : sharing the wealth, choosing concurrence or cooperation, learning about GATS, about the European Treaty...It is fun and effective at the same time.Will love to read from you and share more ideas.Gilles

More people should learn about this
I just sent the following to Attac Pays D'Aix, to search for Gilles:
Dear Gérard Guieu,
greetings from Attac Rosenheim, in the South of Germany! I hope you speak English and that you can help me!
In April, I was in Austria at the "Action Academy" by Attac Austria. A friendly activist called Gilles M from Aix
had a lecture about "Street Pedagogy" and creative information tables. I found his below text in www.attac.org, but no contact information.
His lecture was very interesting, but - due to language problems - I had some problems with understanding.
Besides, his material (CD-Rom I think) was in French.
Now, I would like to ask him:
- Does there already exist a version of his written material in English, or better, in German? Maybe we would like one.
- Next, did Gilles ask the translation services COORDITRAD http://www.coorditrad.attac.org/?lang=fr for help ?
I am sure they would like to help in translating his valuable advice. I think his machines + ideas can be very helpful for the attac-community.
The main problem is to make it known and accessible for many people.
What do you think: can you help ?
Please send your replies also to my personal e-mail: justusdallmer@hotmail.com
Thank you very much in advance! Best regards and take care!
