  • The SNFCC to the World 23 – 26 June 2016 Program of Events Thursday
    Metamorphosis: The SNFCC to the World 23 – 26 June 2016 Program of events Thursday, June 23rd 2016 18:00 – 21:30 | WESTERN STREET | Sports Activities Folk Games A contemporary and amusing revival of games that still excite children in squares or school yards and which we are all acquainted with or have played when young. Hopscotch, tug of war, hoops and hop sack racing will be, among others the starting point for contemporary versions of the games which, however, will not change those particular features that have made them last through time, becoming an integral part of our folk culture. And it is not only the children who will have fun playing. Grown ups will recall memories from their childhood and might even be tempted to play too, turning this activity into a meeting across generations and an occasion for some essential mentoring of the young. For children ages 5-10. Number of participants per program: 40 children Program duration: 10’. There will be a total of 20 programs. 18:00 – 21:30 | GREAT LAWN | Sports Activities Kids’ Athletics Children are initiated in the world of classical sports and fair play by participating in sports/games adapted to their age group without the pressure of competitiveness and the requirement for performance. Five Olympic track and field events: standing long jump (an Olympic sport until the 5th Olympic Games of Stockholm in 1912), pole vault, discus throw, running and hurdle race, are transformed into group activities through which the young athletes come in contact with the values of fair play, sociability and acceptance of diversity.

For this ninth and final edition in the form we know before the move to Plateforme 10, the Musée de l’Elysée offers a quality program with two thirds of the projects presented celebrating women’s artistic creativity and diversity. "Artists from all walks of life echo voices from near and far, reflecting ordinary and extraordinary lives. Everyone has a story, and it is a pleasure to invite you to come and listen and see them all, bravely joining us to examine the world from both ends of the spyglass!"notes Tatyana Franck, director of the Musée de l’Elysée. And Pauline Martin, curator of the Nuit des images, adds: "It is a fact that the Nuit des image wishes to highlight: women – photographic authors and subjects – make a crucial contribution to artistic creation. Even more visibly than in other years, they copiously nourish this year’s event." Special previews at the Nuit des images Sarah Moon and Shirin Neshat, two internationally renowned photographers, present two world premiere projects: Les Jours d'après (2019), a letter from the French photographer to her deceased husband, and Looking for Oum Kulthum (2019), an installation combining photographs and videos developed by the Iranian artist, who will be on stage to tell us about the multidisciplinary way in which she has approached this project.

    SPRING / SUMMER 2018 - N° 1 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS NICE TO MEET YOU A SUMMER IN FRESHWATER POOLS AND BEACHES With advice from the epicurean writer Roland Jaccard and The Lausanne guide Page 42 recommendations of places to go from blogger Sofia Clara PLATEFORME 10, THE CULTURAL RADIOGRAPHY OF THE THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE OF THE CENTURY CGN FLAGSHIP MODERNISM OF LAUSANNE Page 6 Page 24 Page 36 THE SECRETS OF THE CITY EDITORIAL Linking residents and tourists When it comes to singing the praises of Lausanne, the dulcet tones of a Vaudois accent can’t be beaten. But if you listen, you soon come to understand that people speak many languages there. The city has become internationalised, especially with the impetus of its major universities, its multinationals, and even its Olympic institutions and sports federations. To show off this multiple identity, Lausanne Tourism wanted to create a new kind of welcome magazine which builds a bridge, and sometimes reverses the perspective, between insiders and visitors. The Lausanner is the product of this approach, where points of view, paths and flavours cross like they would in a marketplace. Its name is a nod to the residents of other cities: New Yorker, Londoner, Zuricher. Most of all, it pays homage to how we name the people of Lausanne in German-speaking Switzerland and in the Anglo-Saxon world. Whether you’re from here or somewhere else, a passing guest or a resident, The Lausanner aims to tell you of the city’s history and heritage in an unexpected way. A city that, as noted by the architect Vincent Mangeat (p.
