Hi all, As you know Digital is ever evolving and maturing for Colart – please listen to my Digital team update where I explain how the Global Digital team is now structured around 6 core areas of specialisms and how we have 4 core strategic pillars underpinning our work. It’s always a bit difficult to listen to yourself speaking :-), thanks Irene for the interview! I enjoyed it.

Snazaroo celebrated International Women’s Day by watching a short video explaining the origins of this day and the struggles of women to get where they are today. We at Snazaroo are very much an equal culture. We sat down to cakes & fruit whilst watching the video.
We recognise with pride the social, economic, and political achievements of women worldwide, we understand the need to acknowledge the gender bias and must be proactive in addressing such issues.
Whist celebrating International Women’s Day, the team rallied together to show our support to the people of Ukraine. There were a vast number of supplies donated. We also received some money donations which we have arranged to be spent on additional supplies from the Ukraine ‘need list’.

A member of our team has also volunteered to drive all the donations to the nearest collection point this week.
This was a huge effort by all at Snazaroo and we can’t be any prouder of working with such a generous team.
Our thoughts are with all the people of Ukraine and their families.

Mardi, à l’occasion de la journée internationale des droits des femmes, le groupe wellbeing au Mans a invité Anne Ballester qui a tout plaqué pour vivre au Canada puis en Amazonie auprès des Yanomami où elle y a passé plus de 20 ans.
Anne, surnommée « Mamo Kasi Ki Ixi »( la femme au bord de paupière noire) a raconté son histoire et nous a parlés de la vie des femmes dans cette partie du monde.
Des échanges fort intéressants qui se sont poursuivis après la conférence. Anne a trouvé les personnes très réceptives et cela lui a fait du bien. Peut-être repartira-t-elle ? On n’en doute pas un instant.
Un livre écrit par son frère Pierre sur la vie d’Anne Ballester peut être emprunté auprès de pascale.fradin@colart.com
A noter que cette conférence s’est déroulée à la fois en présentiel et en distantiel.
Jusqu’à jeudi, une exposition des photos d’Anne sont visibles en salle de production.

Tuesday, on the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, the wellbeing group in Le Mans invited Anne Ballester who left everything to live in Canada and then in the Amazon with the Yanomami where she spent more than 20 years.
Anne, nicknamed “Mamo Kasi Ki Ixi” (the woman with the edge of the black eyelid) told her story and told us about the life of women in this part of the world.
Very interesting exchanges which continued after the conference. Anne found the people very receptive and it did her good. Maybe she will go back? We don’t doubt it for a moment.
A book written by her brother Pierre on the life of Anne Ballester can be borrowed from pascale.fradin@colart.com
It should be noted that this conference took place both face-to-face and remotely.
Until Thursday, an exhibition of Anne’s photos can be seen in the production room.
