This week takes place the 3rd training activity of the project, dedicated to the finalization of the board game.

Yesterday all the partners were finally able to test the TALENT EXPLORER game remotely! In this collaborative game, players are members of an astronaut crew and must complete missions in space in order to return to Earth.

This board game is one of the 3 outputs of the Change of View project. It is an educational and fun tool that will highlight and mobilize the innate talents of everyone.

On Tuesday 25 May, our partner from Brussels the think and do tank Pour La Solidarité held a video conference where the partners were able to present the new tools created as part of the Change Of View project.

This French-speaking event, broadcast live, brought together 45 participants to discuss the new methods of socio-professional support.

This week, the teams met again by videoconference, for the third transnational meeting of the project.

You can now discover the first 10 portraits of the Clichés gallery in podcast here: https://louiemedia.com/croix-rouge-cliches.

In these stories, you will hear how volunteers, students or employees of the French Red Cross who found themselves in a vulnerable situation decided to take action, for themselves and for others.

A website dedicated to the Clichés gallery is under development and will be online in 2021, where you will find all the inspiring portraits created as part of the Change Of View project.

In view of the health crisis, we had to adapt the program of the second training activity of the project initially planned in Bordeaux.

This week, we therefore met online with our European partners as well as some of their students, learners or beneficiaries. We were able to work on the development of the game and the gallery through different workshops in sub-groups.

You can now listen to the first 4 portraits of Clichés in podcast here: https://louiemedia.com/croix-rouge-cliches.

These episodes were recorded during lockdown thanks to 21 | the Red Cross social innovation accelerator, and co-produced by Louie Média. You will discover the stories of people who one day decided to get involved for themselves and for others.

During the lockdown, Change Of View is adapting and our teams meet regularly by videoconference to move forward on the various productions and reorganize the next activities.

As for the “Clichés” gallery, it progressed a lot thanks to the support of 21. The first 10 portraits in co-production with Louie Média present the stories of people linked with the French Red Cross (students, employees or volunteers) and will be broadcast as podcasts. The first episode will be available in May.

Today begins the second transnational meeting of the project. Our Belgian partner Pour La Solidarité welcomes us to its premises in Brussels for two days of meeting. The objective is to monitor the administrative and financial management of the project and the development of intellectual productions.
