    Happy Thanksgiving to all our colleagues in North America

  • Steve Chamberlain posted an update in the group Group logo of The WallThe Wall 3 years, 5 months ago

    Colart in North America will be closed Thursday November 24th and Friday November 25th to celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA (for the record the celebration in Canada is in October!). I must say my family has grown to love this holiday – meeting up with friends and sharing food – it feels like Christmas time but without the stress of gift giving! We will also continue our family commitment to the local foodbank for those less fortunate this holiday.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

    • I love that visual – its a message that rings true for most things in life. Thanks for posting, Ajita

    • this is such a great visual demonstrating how the small things really can make a difference.
      Many of you may have seen how the Japanese football fans stayed behind after the game against Germany at the World Cup to clear up the litter. Put the sense of CARE together with personal OWERSHIP, imagine what we can achieve.

    • great example indeed Ajita. You are right… small changes can have a lot of impact… so let’s all contribute where we can!

    A great experience in sharing !

     

    Responding to the invitation of the wellbeing group in Le Mans, Angélique Beury and Nadine Fortin began to help with homework for school children. These children of migrants are welcomed into the TARMAC association pending the regularization of their situation.

    The children (primary or secondary level) can thus count on these volunteers who help them at the end of the day, during school periods. Their commitment is partly part of Colart’s community hours.

    “I find this experience very enriching humanly. I had no experience in this area and I admit I was a little apprehensive at first. But quickly, I understood that these children needed, in addition to help with homework, that we devote time to them and that we listen to them. We take them out of their daily lives,” comments Angélique.

     

     

    Une belle expérience dans la transmission

     

    Répondant à l’invitation du groupe wellbeing au Mans, Angélique Beury et Nadine Fortin ont commencé à aider aux devoirs d’enfants scolarisés. Ces enfants de migrants sont accueillis au sein de l’association TARMAC en attendant la régularisation de leur situation.

    Les enfants (niveau primaire ou collège) peuvent ainsi compter sur ces bénévoles qui les aident en fin de journée, pendant les périodes scolaires. Leur engagement entre en partie dans le cadre des community hours de chez Colart.

    « Je trouve cette expérience très enrichissante humainement. Je n’avais aucune expérience dans ce domaine et j’avoue avoir eu un peu d’appréhension au départ. Mais rapidement, j’ai compris que ces enfants avaient, outre l’aide aux devoirs, besoin qu’on leur consacre du temps et qu’on les écoute. On les sort de leur quotidien » commente Angélique.

    • What a wonderful initiative, Bravo Angelique and Nadine.

    • yes, well done Angélique and Nadine. This is a really inspirational way to use your Community time.

      oui bravo Angélique et Nadine. C’est une façon vraiment inspirante d’utiliser des community hours

    • I’d be interested to learn what Angelique and Nadine learn in return. My experience with teaching /mentoring children is that I learn so much from them that it really is a two way street

    • Thank you Angelique and Nadine for this communty activity !
      It is never easy to move out of our space of confort and knowledge, and it is great to do it for others…

    Following the handicap agreement signed with the unions, the Steering Committee met for the first time last week.

    As part of European Handicap Week, Colart in Le Mans organized a game with questions for staff on the subject of disability: a fun game to learn in a good mood.

    We also welcomed 4 people with disabilities into the company as part of DuoDay: a great human experience that will be repeated next year.

     

    Suite à l’accord sur le handicap signé avec les syndicats, le Comité de Pilotage s’est réuni pour la première fois la semaine dernière.

    Dans le cadre de la semaine européenne du handicap, Colart au Mans a organisé un jeu avec des questions destinées au personnel sur le thème du handicap : un jeu ludique pour apprendre dans la bonne humeur.

    Nous avons accueilli également 4 personnes en situation de handicap dans l’entreprise dans le cadre du DuoDay : une belle expérience humaine qui sera renouvelée l’an prochain.

     

    • Great to see so much energy and willing to do !
      Surely we are at the beginning of a long and succesfull journey !

    • Hats off to you Carole for getting this initiative off the ground. I agree with Dominique, this is the start and we look forward to many more opportunities to share experiences at Colart
