[nouvelle en anglais] Le niger suspend les exports d'Uranium

Reply in thread

Merci beaucoup ! Je suis arrivée tout récemment sur Lemmy, j'avais commencé sur Lemmy World, mais pour aider un peu la charge, je suis passée sur une autre instance, c'est donc mon deuxième premier post sur cette communauté !

Pour le partage, de rien :) je n'ai encore rien vu de précis en français la dessus, mais je me suis dit que c'était quand même une nouvelle importante, avec beaucoup de conséquences des deux côtés. De meilleurs articles devraient sortir bientôt. Mais je vois pas mal de gens s'écharper dans les réseaux (je bosse un peu sur ces questions) entre ceux qui applaudissent ce qui se passe dans ces pays qui s'affranchissent de la France et ceux qui estiment que c'est se vendre aux Russes. Pas mal de bouleversements en Afrique en ce moment pas que dans les ex colonies françaises, c'est une période importante.

What's the best ice breaker exercise for the class that a professor used on your first day of class?

Lecturer here, and I would say it really depends on the setting and the content of the class. I tried different things that worked, pairing students to introduce each other for two minutes, then they have to present each other (small groups). Surveys with menti for large crowds, and I am also answering the questions (mix of personal/content/opinion questions to understand the general atmosphere ok the lecture hall).

In a summer school, I did something I really liked, the walking exercise. 3 rounds, 3 questions: students have to walk in the room, and when I clap they have to pair with the closest person and discuss the question. Then we share altogether. But again the content of the questions may really depend. The summer school was about transformations for sustainability, targeting PhD candidates. We were asking about an important event explaining why there were studying sustainability, one question was 'what are you good at' and the last one was 'what do you think should be transformed to become sustainable.'

What are you Watching? (August 2023)

Finished the two seasons of From that are out recently :) more like binged watched them actually 😅 I loved it, I was afraid of watching a modern kind of lost (never really got into it), but it is totally different, and rally my type of sci-fi horror/thriller. The actors are also doing a great job!

I am myself an introvert so I get that very much. The pairing is about trying to diffuse the anxiety. If I feel it is not working well, there are ways to mitigate the issue. For many exercises, interaction can be a nightmare for introverts. I was organising a role play in a master course and I know I would have hated that when I was a student, but I am trying to rely on my own experience to avoid huge mistakes and making people too inconfortable. It is important to read the room but also to experiment to see what works and not!
