FAMILY DAY
FAMILY DAY: celebration day on June 8th 2008
Families by blood, families of friends, families through love, families you have chosen, this is life, the life we live every day. Let us enjoy the presence of those around us. It is a blessing. This gathering of all generations, before the summer, before the school holidays, is a symbol. As long as we know how to speak to each other, to support each other, to listen, to respect, Bize will remain a village, where it is good to live. Lydie FAURE
In the run up to the summer season, the association "Petit à petit" organised a big celebration day, open to everyone, particularly families from Bize and the surrounding communes. This original idea was well-received: many parents came with their children.
The young audience went from one stand to another, discovering all sorts of entertainment: musical stands, things to make and to decorate, Occitan lectures in the marquee, make-up demonstrations, circus display, demonstrations of Latin dance, large scale wooden board games, and the Bronx drums. The good atmosphere, convivial and friendly, enhanced by an open-air buffet at lunchtime, was much appreciated.
All the entertainment was free, provided with the help and support of many volunteers, as well as the participation of partners, who sponsored the event. The organisers offered their thanks to the village and the technical services for their logistical support for the whole day. On this inaugural occasion, the family festival succeeded in being a great surprise. Today, many of the organisations are ready to get started to promote the extracurricular activities for the children, which partly explains the good feeling around.
Many volunteers were available for the children, who enjoyed being able to move from one activity to another for the whole day.
The celebration day for the families of the Community of communes of the Canal du Midi in the Minervois: a project delivered by Laëtitia Garcia and Aurée Tautil.
The idea for this new event was born out of the proposals of a group of parents and children, who came to the reception of the mobile association "Petit à petit...", and who expressed the desire to take part in organising a day, which put the family first.
The aim of the day and the occasion was to meet other families of the communes and to spend some happy time "as a family." It was a convivial time also to value some local initiatives promoted by the families and to bring together some of the competences found in the family home: entertainment, infancy, parenthood, adolescence, across the generations... and a time to meet and share with individuals and professionals to get to know, at a community level, initiatives and organisations.
• Break down barriers by promotion of meeting different inhabitants and families from the community of communes.
• Cement family links.
• Recreate social links and a sense of belonging.
• Promote social, cultural and generational interaction.
• Get to know the "Petit à petit..." association and its partners in the community of communes for the benefit of families.
• Promote sharing between the families providing local initiatives and associations in the area.
• Provide a real insight into the proposals between the communities.
• Promote the spreading and sharing of information (services, projects, work ethic...) between the partners of the community of communes.
Stands will be open all day, as long as we want.
