Amiens Métropole innove avec un serious game pour donner son avis sur la future piscine
Partager Du 3 au 30 septembre prochain, les habitants de l’agglomération d’Amiens Métropole, sont invités à donner leur avis sur le site amiens.fr/piscine, au sujet de la 4e piscine dont se dotera Amiens Métropole en 2015, à l’ouest de son territoire. Pour rendre cette e-concertation ludique et attractive, Amiens Métropole proposera de jouer à un « serious game ». L’internaute devra ainsi construire la piscine de son choix en 3D isométrique en fonction de ses envies. Plus les Amiénois seront nombreux à répondre, plus la collectivité, maître d’ouvrage, et le programmiste ISC pourront s’appuyer sur les résultats et coller au mieux aux attentes des futurs usagers de la piscine.
Boycott "Black Friday", Solidarity with Striking Chinese Workers!
This Black Friday, as millions of Americans scramble to find the "best deals" on consumer goods, thousands of Chinese manufacturing workers are striking to demand livable wages, job security, and other basic rights. In Huangjiang alone, 8,000 striking shoe factory workers took the streets Thursday, blocking roads and standing down lines of riot police. Their factory, owned Yue Yuen Industrial Holdings, is a major provider to the sportswear company New Balance. It seems fair to say these workers are striking for a "new balance" with their management, and the system of global exploitation that management serves. Facing police repression and media censorship, striking Chinese workers are standing up against the same unfair economic system we are fighting on Wall Street and across the world. In a rush to get the best deals on merchandise, some shoppers in the U.S. have already turned on one another. We offer an alternative.
Le Web 3.0 du secteur public va-t-il rendre le pouvoir aux citoyens ? | TBWACorporate
A l’heure où beaucoup s’interrogent sur le danger républicain de l’augmentation cumulée de l’abstention et du vote d’extrême-droite, je me souviens de ce qu’une journaliste d’un grand média national m’a dit un jour : « le point commun entre les journalistes et les responsables politiques, c’est que tout le monde les écoute mais que personne ne les croit ». Je suis plus d’accord avec la fin qu’avec le début. Demander à être écouté par les citoyens et rester sourd à leurs différentes formes d’expression, tel est le défi impossible et anachronique auquel il convient de mettre un terme. D’autant que la réalité a contredit les mythes de transparence et de démocratie nés de l’arrivée des outils numériques. La communication publique pourrait pourtant connaître, dans les années à venir, une triple révolution : « organisation du lâcher-prise», co-construction/évaluation de l’offre et personnalisation du service public. / Démocratie participative ou communication traditionnelle numérisée ?
Occupying Society: How the Movement Hashes Out Race, Class and Privilege in Real Time | Occupy Wall Street

Since Occupy Wall Street lost its stronghold in Manhattan's financial district last week, thanks to a long-threatened raid by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, discussion swirls about the fate of the movement -- especially in light of similar evictions of Occupy encampments in other cities. But the loss of encampment space is about more than the movement's physical presence; it threatens the loss of the most compelling story, a hybrid of breaking news and reality TV show. Occasionally, the competing priorities of the movements made headlines, but the stories aired and published usually focused on tensions that arise when resistance to the state meets the need for police authority, as evidenced in ongoing battles over dealing with sexual assault in some encampments. Busting a Stereotype Overwhelmingly, the answer was business.
Prepare for riots in euro collapse, Foreign Office warns
Recent Foreign and Commonwealth Office instructions to embassies and consulates request contingency planning for extreme scenarios including rioting and social unrest. Greece has seen several outbreaks of civil disorder as its government struggles with its huge debts. British officials think similar scenes cannot be ruled out in other nations if the euro collapses. Diplomats have also been told to prepare to help tens of thousands of British citizens in eurozone countries with the consequences of a financial collapse that would leave them unable to access bank accounts or even withdraw cash. Fuelling the fears of financial markets for the euro, reports in Madrid yesterday suggested that the new Popular Party government could seek a bail-out from either the European Union rescue fund or the International Monetary Fund. There are also growing fears for Italy, whose new government was forced to pay record interest rates on new bonds issued yesterday.
