Déjà dix ans de Pass à Frameries

Déjà dix ans de Pass à Frameries
Dix ans, des finances satisfaisantes et un défi sans cesse remis sur le métier : donner le goût de la science aux plus jeunes par le jeu et la découverte. Installé sur l’ancien charbonnage du Crachet réhabilité puis réaffecté par Albert Liénard – alors ministre wallon PSC du Patrimoine et des Technologies, il est aussi citoyen de Frameries –, « le Pass n’est ni un musée, ni un parc d’attraction, rappelle son directeur général, André Crémer. Les visiteurs nous apprécient pour ce que nous sommes, notamment les jours de pluie… »

Depuis 2007, ils sont 80.000 par an à visiter le site charbonnier converti en « cité des sciences ». En famille ou en classe : 17.000 élèves en 2009. La fréquentation est en hausse ; 30 à 35 % des visiteurs viennent de la région de Mons et du Borinage.

Intermuse. Bulgarie. Bulgaria

The Bulgarian team established the students group

The preliminary work entailed the formation of teams of students willing to explore the issues of the Intermuse project. These were selected on the principle of their former active involvement with project work and viable achievements. Thirty students from the Secondary School of Foreign Languages “Yordan Radichkov” in Vidin who had some experience and interest in the cultural and historical heritage of the Vidin region were selected. Bearing in mind the specific aspects of museum work the students were assigned to particular teams instructed by curators responsible for the different departments: Archaeology and Numismatics – Fionera Yordanova Filipova, Bulgarian History ХV – ХIХ c. – Neven Zheliazkov Iliev, Modern History - Hristina Ivanova Kirilova, Ethnography 1 Sashka Bojkova Bizeranova , Ethnography 2 - Desislava Bojidarova Tzvetanova, Post-modern History 1 - Plamen Nikolov Nikodimov, Post-modern History 2 - Valia Dimitrova Dimitrova- research associate.

The principle of instructive teaching required that the museum experts should use methods and approaches that could evoke cognitive needs in the students.
We had to take account of the desires and interests of the young people so that our work should be both fruitful and gratifying. Individual preferences necessitated some shifting inside the groups. This occurred because reality did not always meet the initial expectations of the students; the variety offered and the team work organised by different instructors made some of the members show preference for the other team. The principle of scientific character of the education through museums is obligatory and was observed in all phases: when the students were introduced to the departments and their functions, the expositions, the monuments as well as while preparing the game. Each participant had to prepare a text and questions connected with the second phase of the project – creating the game with photos attached. The museum instructors had to present their departments in such a way as to make it possible for the students to write their texts by themselves, submit them to the instructors for correction, who then returned them to the students. It was necessary to include only scientifically based texts as well as ask sensible questions which had only one answer. In the cases where the photos were not satisfactory, the group of “photographers” had to make new photos and when this was not possible because of distance, the museum provided them out of its fund.
The museum curators had made a preliminary selection of the most important sites in the Vidin region but the students were allowed to make their own choice. They had the possibility to enlarge the range of sites they wanted to become familiar with. Given the fact that the young people’s perception of the world is different from the adult one, and that the game is addressed to the students’ peers, the curators accepted all suggestions readily. Being one of the basic didactic principles unchanged by time or educational reforms is the use of visual aids and demonstration. In the museum environment where exhibits are original and speak of history, perception is sensory based. Visualising and demonstration were an indelible part of or instruction sessions. Thus we created concepts, provoked a sustained interest in the young people and built skills to observe, develop imagination and thought. The direct perception of the sites was not only an object of learning but also a means to get to the core of the historical process where the notion about the separate facts plays a vital role. While it is difficult at school to restructure the history of mankind, the individual steps towards civilization, the centuries when people’s appearance, labour and lifestyles were fundamentally different from our reality, the museums in the Vidin region, the Magura cave and the archives made it possible for the project participants to turn into discoverers, “archaeologists”, “ethnologists”, “historians”, “archivists”, “photorecorders”.

Following the principle of visualization and demonstration we used three groups:
1. Material – we demonstrated artifacts such as tools of labour, arms, coins, household goods and other ethnographic materials, fortresses and installations, written documents, monuments of different objects of art found in the museum monuments in the region.
2. The visual aids included presentation of historical events and legends, preserved in the minds of the people and adapted to the game.
3. Symbolic and graphic aids – diagrams, maps, schemes, tables were also used by the curators first to present the area to the students and then include in the game.

The instruction process relied on the principle of conscientiousness and activity. Participation in the project is voluntary. The students have special interests in history, they are skilled in expressing preferences and communicating with their instructors, seek additional information, meetings, discussions.

One of the achievements of the project is rooted in the fact that learning through museums allows for individualization and differentiation. The different students were assigned diverse individual tasks to deal with, systematize and work out. They participate directly, make their choice of sites to write about, express their opinion as to the questions and the order of the puzzle opening. The two principles of differentiation – division and voluntary participation in groups – were part of the educational process. Making a personal choice the student ministers to a better differentiation on the basis of interests, desires and capacities.
The group-variety form of differentiation allows for the accomplishment of various tasks. The students willingness to work in particular groups is respected. Although thse are temporary formations and the participants possess a high intellectual level, management of the groups requires teaching skills and adequate structuring of activities.
Learning through museums is an excellent way of enriching the participants’ stock of knowledge and building intercultural skills. The Vidin students were introduced to the cultural and historical heritage of the area, the natural landmarks, spiritual culture, folklore. Moreover, they learned to write about these and present them to their peers, who, through the game, will benefit from the project.
A purposeful selection was made of sites presenting the culture and life of other ethnic groups so as to promote, peace, tolerance and understanding. e.g. The Monument of the Lamenting Soldier, the Mosque, Osman Pazvantoglu’ Library, the Synagogue and others.
Learning through museums is an open-ended series of lessons in patriotism. All participants in the project are proud of the cultural and historical achievements of the Vidin region and will be happy to present them to their peers from Romania, Belgium and Turkey. The elaboration of the game is a perfect way to do that.
Students from the Secondary Language School �Yordan Radichkov� � Vidin visited the National Museum of History

Students from the Secondary Language School “Yordan Radichkov” – Vidin visited the National Museum of History. Learning Bulgarian history in this non-standard way is set in the project “Intermuse – Intercultural Education through Museums”, which the students have been working on for two years now together with their peers from Romania, Turkey and Belgium. Becoming aware of the rich findings from antiquity on the Bulgarian lands enhances the feeling of the significance of the Bulgarian state, heir to highly developed civilizations.

The students saw all the halls of the museum with great interest – from the time of Khan Asparuh to the times of socialism. They were most impressed by the gold ornaments and vessels, as well as by the filigree decoration of the church plates.

“To see and discover confirmation of what you have learned in class is a real adventure’, says the history teacher Valiya Alexandrova. “We already work on the principle of the three “T” think, talk and touch.” Under her guidance and with the collaboration of the Regional History Museum in Vidin the students are preparing a videogame presenting the cultural and historical sights of the Vidin region. She believes that in this manner she evokes in the students the feeling of belonging to the nation – underlying patriotism, something that has become scanty in our country.

A special lesson in love of one’s country was delivered by the Museum director Professor Bojidar Dimitrov. The questions posed to the historian demonstrated the students’ profound understanding of Bulgarian history.
Macedonia being an important issue of the discussion, the professor presented all students with his latest book. The meeting was completed with a photo.

It is certain that the students will have a lot to share with their peers from Turkey, Romania and Belgium during the next videoconference. In two months’ time they will be able to exchange the ready video products.

The project is managed by the Intercultural Institute of Timisoara, Romania in partnership with NGO “SAGE” – Rousse. The project is financed by the Comenius European Progamme.

The excursion was done on January 30 – 31, 2009.
The group consisted of 50 students from the Secondary Language School “Yordan Radichkov” – Vidin.

Intermuse. Méthodologie

The methodology will have the following structure:

1. each participating class goes through an intensive training provided by a specialist on the designing interactive multimedia games
2. the pupils then organise themselves by groups and explore the local museum in order to produce a game of type “treasure hunting” inspired by the content of the museum and by what they learn about the cultural diversity in the past and the present of their local community
3. classes exchange DVDs and try to find the solutions to each other’s game
4. in a videoconference they exchange with their partners ideas about their experience of producing and solving the games
5. each class reflects on the whole learning experience.

The implementation of this methodology requires close cooperation of at least the English language teacher and the technology/computers teacher in the school, and of them with a museum specialist. The pedagogical background of this approach is represented by the socio-constructivism at the methodology is a combination of experiential learning, cooperative learning and project-based learning, all within the background principles of intercultural learning.

In order to achieve the objectives and deliver the expected outcomes the active participation of teachers and students is essential. Besides this, our partnership also allows us to take advantage of the specific experience of museum specialists and of the experience of NGO trainers with experience in promoting intercultural education.

In order to provide good quality products useful for further dissemination and exploitation, it is also essential to pass through a phase of first test of the envisaged methodology, produce draft versions of the videogames and allow teachers and museum specialists to provide feedback and suggestions, while developing their skills and knowledge for an effective use in the next stage of the project.

Therefore, once the first experiments completed and the detailed methodology revised, a piloting can take place, with the same teachers but with other pupils, in order to produce the videogames. This time also the next phases of the process (solving the games of the others, videoconferences and reflection) can be completed. It is only when the whole process has been successfully completed that a team of representatives of partner institutions can analyse the results and produce the content of the Methodology DVD. The last phases of the project focus on dissemination and exploitation, key parts of the project.

Intermuse. Objectifs

Objectives

The project aims at providing teachers and museum specialists with an innovative, up-to-date and ready-to-use approach and resources for developing intercultural education activities based on the use of ICT, on the development of transnational learning partnerships and on the use of interactive and motivating pedagogical methods, within a partnership between schools and local museums.

More precisely, the objectives of the project will be:

* to develop and test within a network of four schools from different countries an innovative methodology for intercultural education based on the elaboration by pupils of a multimedia interactive game inspired by a local museum and on exchanges on this matter between partner schools
* to produce and disseminate a package of resources on DVD containing four videogames as well as resources and methodological instructions for teachers
* to promote and support the use of this methodology by other interested schools interested in promoting intercultural dialogue by working in cooperation with museums.

In this way, a complex learning process is stimulated, focused on intercultural learning, but pupils involved will also learn to communicate, orally and in written, in English, will develop their skills in using the technology and will enhance as well their social skills and abilities for cooperation and active participation in a multicultural and multilingual environment. The methodology encourages a better coordination between teachers (it relies mainly on the close cooperation between English language teacher and technology/computers teacher) and the connection of school with cultural institutions (in our case, museums) and with NGOs active in promoting intercultural dialogue.

Pourquoi Intermuse ?

Why INTERMUSE?

The project provides teachers and museum specialists with an innovative methodology for motivating young people to get involved in intercultural learning activities. Its innovative character comes from the combination of the use of ICT, cooperative learning, transnational partnerships, using the museum as resource, relying on the idea of developing a videogame and on making learning an enjoyable experience of personal and collective discovery. Thus, the methodology is enhancing at the in the same time the creativity and cultural expression, together with the critical reflection capacity and the intercultural communication skills of young people. In fact, the approach implies a complex learning process that, while including important acquisition of knowledge, it also supports the development of intellectual, technical and social skills and encourages positive attitudes towards cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and European cooperation.

The methodology insists on a balanced distribution of responsibility for learning between teachers, responsible for facilitating the learning process and stimulating critical reflection on the learning experience and the pupils. Thus, the approach of the project is also innovative in the sense that the materials produced, that will serve as learning and support materials for other teachers willing to use the methodology, is essentially based on concrete outputs of the young people from the partner schools. This direct involvement of pupils will guarantee that the outputs and the methodology will be understandable, attractive and appropriate for the real needs of this age group and not based only on assumptions of teachers, museum specialists and experts in intercultural education.

Another innovative element is represented by the combination of various levels of cultural diversity in the overall process, including the present-day cultural diversity in each location, the past cultural diversity as reflected by the museums and the transnational and European diversity resulting from the joint involvement in such a project and by the development in the future of other similar learning partnerships.

The innovation consists also in the use for educational purposes of technologies that are just now available to the general public, such as the computers and software able to design in an easy way, without advanced programming knowledge, complex multimedia products, including 3D animation, videoclips, sounds, interactive hypertext, pictures, texts, etc..

Intermuse. Project

INTERMUSE project started from the idea that museums represent valuable resources for intercultural education but innovative methodologies need to be developed to increase motivation for learning, particularly among upper-secondary school pupils. The project aims to stimulate pupils’ active involvement in intercultural learning and their reflection on sensitive and complex issues regarding cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue, as well as their willingness to learn other languages, by engaging them in the design of computer games in the framework of school-museum cooperation. Thus, an innovative methodology is being developed, according to the following steps:

* pupils, supported by teachers of various subjects and by museum specialists, design an interactive video game based on the resources offered by a local museum
* they exchange their games and try to find solutions to games produced by partners
* they interact trough a series of videoconferences
* each class reflects on the learning outcomes associated with the whole experience.

By engaging in this process pupils are motivated to learn English (their games will be in English), to improve their skills for using technology, to express their creativity, but also to learn and reflect about cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue. A package of DVDs produced by pupils, together with an additional DVD with resources and methodological instructions for teachers will be produced and disseminated.

La réussite du Musée de l'histoire allemande, qui attire 800 000 visiteurs par an, est un modèle du genre. Son directeur participe aux réflexions sur la création d'un équivalent français.

Où mettre la future Maison de l'histoire de France promise par Nicolas Sarkozy? Et comment l'organiser?

Musée du Dialogue - Gaston Bertrand. Un maître de la ligne

Musée du Dialogue - Gaston Bertrand. Un maître de la ligne
PRÉSENTATION DE L’EXPOSITION
par le Prof. Joël Roucloux, directeur du musée


Grande figure debout, 1944 – 1947. Peinture à l’huile sur toile. Inv. n° AM1520. Donation S. Goyens de Heusch. Les anniversaires constituent une bonne occasion de rappeler à notre souvenir l’oeuvre des artistes. Après Lismonde et Van Lint, voici venu le centenaire de la naissance de Gaston Bertrand (né le 2 septembre 1910 exactement). Mais alors qu’il s’agissait pour les deux premiers, d’un hommage discret en marge des expositions principales, l’exposition présente marque le dernier événement de notre saison 2009-2010. En effet, depuis les deux donations Serge Goyens de Heusch de 2005 et 2008, Gaston Bertrand est devenu, après Pierre-Louis Flouquet, l’artiste le plus représenté dans nos collections. Une rétrospective lui avait cependant déjà été consacrée il y a maintenant vingt-cinq ans en nos murs : c’est d’ailleurs le Musée de Louvain-la-Neuve qui avait publié à cette occasion le premier ouvrage consacré par Serge Goyens de Heusch à l’artiste : Gaston Bertrand. Une poétique de la distance.

Cette exposition sera sans doute l’occasion de s’interroger sur la place de cet inclassable dans l’histoire de l’art belge de la seconde moitié du 20ème siècle. Grâce à des initiatives dissonantes avec l’air du temps, en pleine période sombre de l’Occupation (La Route Libre, Apollo 41), Gaston Bertrand est unanimement considéré avec Louis Van Lint et Anne Bonnet comme l’un des pionniers du renouveau artistique d’après-guerre symbolisé par l’association La Jeune peinture belge (1945-1948). Pour rappel, celle-ci ne promouvait pas une esthétique univoque mais entendait célébrer les retrouvailles entre une certaine tradition et une certaine modernité à travers l’expression de tempéraments singuliers...

Une autre Nuit au musée le 29 mai - Flers
mardi 18 mai 2010 La visite du musée en nocturne a bien fonctionné, samedi.



150 personnes ont visité le château en nocturne, samedi. Le public pourra y revenir le soir à l'occasion de « Pierres en lumière ».

La Nuit des musées a une nouvelle fois fait recette ce week-end au château de Flers. Environ 150 personnes ont répondu à l'invitation. Le concept avait été quelque peu modifié : les visites guidées n'avaient pas de caractère obligatoire. Céline Guérin et Coralie Miachon en proposaient à la demande autour de trois thèmes : « l'historique du château, un focus sur les collections permanentes et un tour d'horizon de l'exposition du moment Clichés normands »...

Panachés de musées

Panachés de musées
Lancé en 1999 par la Direction des Musées de France (DMF), le rendez-vous annuel du Printemps des Musées souhaite faire redécouvrir au public la richesse des collections et de l'offre culturelle des musées.
Si, jusqu'en 2005, un nouveau thème était proposé chaque année par la DMF, depuis 2006, plus aucun sujet n'est imposé afin de laisser libre cours à l'imagination des musées des différents pays participants. Ceux-ci ont le choix entre tout simplement ouvrir leurs portes ou développer des activités et des animations particulières et spécifiques... En 2010, la Communauté française propose aux musées de s'inspirer des Matières.
D'année en année, cette manifestation annuelle séduit plus de deux mille musées
