4) Siège social de la FIMEM

The FIMEM has found it necessary to change to the adresss of the headquarters for two reasons : The first reason is that the official headquarters is at the adress of an ancient treasurer, that left the CA at 2000. The second reason is that twe were refused a subvention from the region Pays-de-la Loire for the book about Childrens’s rights, because the headquarters are in the region Poitou-Charentes.

That pushed the BD to change the adress of the headquarters to the region Pays-de Loire à Mayenne, at the same place as the Amis de Freinet.

See deliberation at the end!

5) RIDEF 2014 à Reggio

Afternoon: The Short Workshops will be open for visitors.

Forum Theatre: answering a questionnaire from the actors.

Making a special folder for the Forum Day.

5-The last plenary- Evaluation of the RIDEF:

Evaluation and syntheses that could serve as a basis and advocacy for the RIDEF 2016 in Benin with a view to citizenship of children. The MCE may propose a document and the FIMEM will discuss it as consultation.

Making a poster – kakemonos- that shows the resolutions from the theme of the RIDEF. This poster will be shown at the following meetings.

Excursions:

There will be seven places for excursions with bus: Apennines (powerhouse), Modena, Rimini (CEIS), Parma, Bologna, Piacenza, Ferrare,

Intercultural evenings: only two

Cinema: “l’école buissonnière” - subtitles in Italian - will rather be shown in a short workshop (3 hours).

Exhibitions:

There are too few drawings for the “Village of the world”. The texts not published in the book about children’s rights. There will be places for this at the school. There will also be several computers for watching videos.

Cooperative meal:

We have to think about: hard work, what to do with the surplus, organisation of stocks.

BUDGET:

The budget shows incomings of 231,729 euro. Solidarity is rising 24 000 euro the grants are

39 000 euro.

Spending: According to the fact that the MCE has received a lot of solidarity, the BD of the FIMEM proposes a transformation of 9 000 euro in to parts: 5000 euro for solidarity and 4000 euro for the organisation that in the budget will be called « help for organisation - CA Göteborg ».

See deliberations at the end!

Presentation of the Swedish movement: The BD of the Swedish movement presented themselves to us. Inger Nordheden (the President) made a presentation in PowerPoint of ho the Swedish movement is formed around the so called “free schools”. The Swedish movement has about 100 members.

After that Giancarlo presented another PowerPoint about the theme of the RIDEF in Reggio.

Decisions about solidarity. See deliberation at the end!

RIDEF 2016 and 2018

RIDEF 2016

The BD of the FIMEM has executed what GA has told them to do. That means that they have sent a delegation to Benin to investigate the possibility to implement RIDEF 2016. The delegation comprised of Marta Fontana, Sylviane Amiet and Giancarlo Cavinato.

Giancarlo presented the report from the tour of the tour of the delegation from the BD of FIMEM to Benin.

You will find the complete report at the website of FIMEM:

http://www.fimem-freinet.org/fr/node/1680

The impression of the place for the workshops and conference (Dogbo, 20 km from Lokossa) is relatively positive, and a little bit less positive according to the accommodations in this place. But there are hotels near of the place of the RIDEF.

Arcade de Nantes:

If FIMEM asks Arcade for a partnership, we must contact the ABEM before asking. We have to know what kind of proposition ABEM could offer to Arcade in Benin. In return Arcade in France could offer to send material for the RIDEF.

Budget for the RIDEF:

The ABEM has sent a forecast of the budget for the RIDEF. They will have to correct it according to 5% of the amount received from the registrations from the RIDEF in Italy.

See deliberation at the end!

RIDEF 2018

Visit of Ljungskile Folkhögskola (Sweden):

We have visited this school that could be the place of the RIDEF 2018. It is a very nice and modern place, with a very good appearance and a beautiful view of the fjord. There is a small auditorium, a large gymnasium and many conference-rooms. There are rooms for 240 persons, and there are places for camping-cars and tents. The food is of good quality, and the beds are comfortable.

The price proposed to the Swedish group is 182 000 euro for 300 persons, which will give a price of 600 euro/ person. It seems too high and the CA has asked the Swedish group to negotiate the price.

See deliberation at the end!

Moral report

Report from the movements of the FIMEM:

The reports from the activities of the different movements are found on the FIMEM website, at the tab on the right side « Activity reports »

at the link: xxxxxxxxxxxx

Moral report from the BD:

Activities of the BD of the FIMEM for the period of July 2012 - June 2014.

The BD, following the directives from the GA has supported the actions of those movements that are opposing the destruction of public schools, especially the struggle that has been developed by the Mexican movements – the MEPA and the MMEM – and that is still going on.

Since the last RIDEF: s (Nantes, Leon and Reggio Emilia) the solidarity actions have increased as the money is making it possible for people to participate in the RIDEF.

The BD has sought the group that organises the RIDEF to invite teachers from Palestine to the next RIDEF. With help from Ave Georges Bellot, Lucia Biondelli and Daniele Bianchi, 4 Palestinians will come.

According to the book about Children’s rights, the BD has made an appeal to all movements, has classified and conserved the documents in Dropbox. We are now in the process of editing the book. We have help from the association l'Effrene-tic (journey of Gaspard and Leticia in Africa)

The group from Italy that is organising the RIDEF has continued the contacts with UNESCO. This work was initialized at the RIDEF in Nantes by the organizers of the IDEM 44 and of those from MCEP that have obtained the official patronage of the UNESCO.

Throughout those two years, the BD has communicated with the movements - about information, meetings, congresses and training courses - by emails, the website and on Facebook, but many times the BD has not received any answers...

We hope that in the future the movements will answer and that there will be a more powerful engagement in the activities of FIMEM at the internet and in other media.

Concerning the organisation of RIDEF, the BD has followed and supported the work of the organisation group, helping them to overcome the difficulties that have occurred.

BD has supported the celebration of the 10^th anniversary of the Cameroun movement, AECEMO. Joël Potin has represented the FIMEM during the first “salon”.

François Perdrial, Giancarlo Cavinato and Pilar Fontevedra - members of the BD – attended the congress of the ICEM in Caen in August 2013.

Giancarlo has met the Portuguese movement and a departmental group from the south-east of France; he has attended the congress of the Spanish movement, MCEP, and has been to Benin to participate in their meetings. He is also secretary of the Italian movement, MCE.

Pilar has attended the congress of the Spanish movement, MCEP.

François has met a representative from the Quebec movement (CQEM), which will restart at Montreal.

Mia has attended the congress of the Swedish movement (FRiS-KAP) and is a member of the BD in this movement.

Renate has attended the congresses of the two German movements.

Sadikh has attended the meetings and formations of the Senegal movement

Website of the FIMEM:

The site has been managed by Claude Beaunis and François. The site functions in a satisfying way, and the documents from the activities of the movements that we have received are published on the site. Since the RIDEF in Leon the site has grown, and you can now find about 400 documents there. The information belongs to the movements and is being updated continually. There are three levels of reading: for everyone, for the members of FIMEM and only for the BD.

Information about the FIMEM and the life of our movements can also be found at Facebook :

https://www.facebook.com/fimemfreinet The information is updated daily.

Interpellation to the BD from Education Populaire about secularism at the RIDEF. Texts about secularism can be found at the “philosophical space” at the website. xxxxxxxxxxx

Orientations:

Reflexions from the BD 2012-2014 :The distribution between the movements of A, B and C-countries seems outdated, given the standard of living on this planet, the yearly subscription for the FIMEM and the registration fees for the RIDEF.

The BD cooperates with the ABEM in the organisation of the RIDEF, as well as with the Swedish movement.

The FIMEM intends to establish and maintain relations with the national and international organisations that works for defending the rights of children, our pedagogy and other associations partenaires de l’école.

Improve the philosophical space.

Keep the documents – the memory of the FIMEM – together with Amis de Freinet and their researchers.

Solliciter les mouvements de s’engager sur la connaissance comme un bien commun

Strengthen the relations with the movements, and keep asking them for sending their reports of their activities to CA or write on the website, to share them with all of us.

At the language groups ask the movements in what ways they work to improve and defend our pedagogy.

Work for that the new generations of teachers will join our movements. Make a foundation that will give scholarships to young teachers that will attend RIDEF.

Make a journal that will reflect the diversity of our movement, and distribute it at the next RIDEF (2016). The journal will have 32 pages, one for each movement of the FIMEM.

9) The orientations are made and sent with the convocation to the GA.

10) Payment of the costs for the members of the BD.

11) Work of the BD at Reggio:

In Reggio, the BD will meet Sunday 20 July at 3 pm, and Monday 21 July in the morning.

The BD will prepare the GA and during the RIDEF the BD will meet every morning at the time of the long workshops, except the excursion day.
