    CANTON DE VAUD DÉPARTEMENT DE LA FORMATION, DE LA JEUNESSE ET DE LA CULTURE (DFJC) SERVICE DES AFFAIRES CULTURELLES dp • n°61–2017 LOUSONNA : Musée romain un passé d’actualité de Lausanne-Vidy PRÉAMBULE Ce dossier pédagogique s’adresse aux enseignants et aux élèves des cycles 2 et 3. Il aborde la notion de contextualisation des traces et permet la comparaison des sociétés humaines en tenant compte des dimensions sociale, économique, politique, religieuse et culturelle. Les enseignants du cycle 2 sont invités à s’inspirer de ces notions et à adapter leur démarche. La partie « avant » permet de se préparer à la visite autonome du Musée romain de Lausanne- Vidy en donnant des informations sur la ville gallo-romaine de Lousonna, son développement au cours du temps, ses principaux bâtiments et son emplacement stratégique. Elle propose également une réflexion sur le commerce et les échanges à cette époque. La partie « pendant » comprend des fiches d’activités pour les élèves à réaliser durant la visite du musée. Elles sont axées sur le repérage et l’identification de traces du passé, en questionnant leur fonction, leur nature, leur diversité et leur utilisation actuelle. Elles invitent donc les élèves à découvrir les objets de l’exposition permanente et à s’approprier le discours du musée qui illustre comment, par bien des aspects, l’antiquité romaine renvoie à l’actualité moderne. La partie « après » regroupe des prolongements possibles à réaliser collectivement en classe suite à la visite. Ce code QR vous donne l’accès direct aux illustrations et aux photographies présentes dans ce dossier, ainsi qu’à toutes les fiches d’activités et à leurs corrigés ! En ligne : www.lausanne.ch/mrv > jeune public > dossiers pédagogiques La forme masculine est uniquement utilisée dans le présent dossier mais elle recouvre les deux formes, masculine et féminine.

  • Rapport Annuel 2020 3
    RAPPORT ANNUEL 2020 3 MESSAGE DU PRÉSIDENT L’année 2020 a été une année difficile pour Beau-Rivage SA et bien sûr en général pour les hôtels de la Fondation Sandoz. Vous me permettrez même de reprendre les mots de S.M. la Reine Elisabeth II d’Angleterre lors de son allocution du 24 novembre 1992 : « … ce fut vraiment une annus horribilis ». Pour la première fois en 160 ans d’existence, alors que deux guerres mondiales n’y étaient pas parvenues, la pandémie du Covid-19 a contraint le Beau-Rivage Palace à cesser toutes opérations et à fermer ses portes. Cette incertitude mondiale dans laquelle nous avons été plongés, a entraîné une chute d’activité sur les marchés traditionnellement les nôtres comme l’Extrême-Orient, le Moyen-Orient et les États-Unis. En raison du confinement, les ressortissants des pays Européens ont également arrêté de voyager. Un point positif se dégage cependant. Nous avons ainsi remarqué une augmentation du nombre de visiteurs Suisses. La part de cette clientèle helvétique a en effet fortement augmenté l’an dernier par rapport à 2019, progressant ainsi de 18% à 44% de notre production annuelle de nuitées. De plus, la majeure partie de ces clients Suisses se révèlent être de nou- veaux clients. Un constat similaire a été étudié concernant la clientèle française dont la proportion évaluée en 2019 à 11% passe à 20% en 2020. Autre conséquence directe de cette nouvelle situation, les clients Suisses « captifs » organisent eux-mêmes leurs séjours - vacances et ne font pas appel à des tiers tels que agences de voyages, voyagistes, etc.
