9 mai 2017 : fête de l'Europe...

A l'occasion de la Fête de l'Europe le Comité de Jumelage de Nort-sur-Erdre et l'Association Polyglotte vous proposent une conférence de Jean Guiffan
Idées reçues sur l'Irlande 
  

"L’Irlande est un pays de vertes prairies où il pleut tout le temps”.

 


 “Les Irlandais sont de grands colosses roux qui boivent beaucoup de bière”.



“En Irlande du Nord, catholiques et protestants en sont encore aux guerres de religion” … 


Ces images, ces stéréotypes – et bien d'autres - correspondent-ils à la réalité ?


L’historien Jean Guiffan, spécialiste de l’Irlande, s’efforcera de répondre à ces interrogations.

Cette conférence s'adresse à tous et se déroulera le mardi 9 mai à 20h00 à la Salle Sud de Nort-sur-Erdre


Des élèves du Collège Paul-Doumer ont participé au Festival 2017...

Des élèves du Collège Paul Doumer ont participé au Festival 2017. Ils nous donnent ci-dessous leurs impressions sur le documentaire Project Nim qu'ils ont vu lors d'une séance 'spéciale scolaires'


The 3eme students and English teachers from the Paul Doumer collège would like to thank the Polyglotte association and the volunteers from the Paradiso cinema in Nort s/Erdre for their participation in the 2017 Polyglotte Festival.

The 3A and 3B students have expressed their reactions about the documentary "Project Nim".


It was the first time I saw a documentary of this type. In general I like documentaries about animals but this one is less boring.

It was funny to communicate with the chimpanzee !

I like this documentary because there are always emotions between the family and the chimpanzee. 


It was boring and sad to see the violence against the chimpanzee. I don't like violence and when I saw that I was scared.

The film is interesting because it shows how the scientists study language with animals.

It would be great if we could sign with animals, we could exchange know-how !

It was not right to take her baby from the chimpanzee mother !

What the humans did to this chimpanzee is unfair !

An animal is not an object or a human toy !

This documentary shows that it is dangerous to have a chimpanzee in our house !

It is sad because at the end Nim was closed in a cage.


It is sad because Nim was alone and I suppose it is hard to live alone. At the end of the film we can see the damages humans have caused in the name of science.

The humans should not try their experiments on animals.

We see the hell of experiences on animals. Thus it opens our minds.

At first the documentary made me happy : Nim looked like he was having fun. But then, when Nim bit the woman's face and when he was used for medical tests, it made me sad. I actually cried. The movie was really well done.

The humans were guilty of naivety because they did not think about the problems.

Animals and humans have their own language. Why change that ? If everybody could speak like us the world would be weird. Nim was happy with his chimpanzee family. To conclude we should respect the rights of animals.
