Châu Đốc, 2013 - "Khmer Krom kid learning his lessons on his mother's weaving loom" - Leica M7, Summilux 35, Kodak Tri-X
1. Literacy of course matters but it's of utmost importance that cultivating, expressing oneself, exchanging views, arguing, criticizing and challenging awareness optimally complement reading, writing and counting. Writing of course comprises photography as the language of signs that is dedicated to communication logically includes text, image and sound, the basis itself of the zixbook concept. I sincerely hope that education in Vietnam will one day take a more appropriate direction in order to significantly reduce the business flood damages in this globalisation era and raise the global culture level of this country of my heart to international standards.
2. No word could describe the Khmer Krom pain after the French government politically gave the lower part of Cambodia’s land (Kampuchea Krom) to Vietnam in 1949 during the Indochina era. For millions Khmer Krom people daily life mainly consists in struggling for survival. Châu Đốc was originally Mott Chrouk. Who cares?
Les blobs ! J’ai essayé de donner un éclairage plus dramatique à la photo pour coller avec le vieux film des années 80… Je ne sais pas pourquoi il m’a laissé un souvenir aussi fort mais apparemment je ne suis pas le seul… Cela dit selon le CNES et le CNRS ce sont des créatures pacifiques… je choisis de les croire ! Maintenant pas mal de classes en ont un partout en France, donc je ne suis plus le seul à me demander ce qu’il fait pendant que j'ai le dos tourné :)
The not-so-evil-space-monster Blob! Inside this box is a charming and loveable creature (a slime mould) that is living in space for a few weeks as an educational experiment. Schoolchildren in France have their own blobs and we will be able to tell if they grow differently in space or in classrooms. For no particular reason I cannot help thinking of 80s horror movies when working with the blob. You can tell I tried to give it a more dramatic lighting haha. I don’t know why this horror movie stayed with me (apparently I’m not the only one). But these blobs are actually very nice creatures… I think… who knows what they do when we are not looking though...

This past year I spent a lot of time photographing the Global Education Movement's inspiring new higher education programs. This young woman, who is just beginning the program, came to the a remote refugee camp in Northern Kenya from Somalia as a child without her parents in the care of family friends. She has not seen her family since and expressed to me her wonder and excitement about beginning the degree program.
While she is one of the lucky ones, her story is just one of the almost 200,000 in the camp and one of over 25 million refugees worldwide. My hope is that stories like hers and programs like these inspire others to open doors to refugees rather than build walls.
Mizan (12 years) reading the holy Quaran in Madrasha. Bangladesh is home to a large and rapidly growing number of registered secondary madrasas (Islamic faith schools). These madrasas account for over 30% of all secondary educational institutions in the country and therefore serve as an important partner for the delivery of education in rural areas.
Education and money are both important things. They are essential to support our life. People may think money is the most important thing in our life. But in my opinion, Education comes first than money. They don’t know behind the power of education which makes money as an illusion.

Meran, city in South Tyrol (Merano, Alto Adige, Italy), town charter in 1317, to 1475 mint (relocation to Hall/Tyrol), or until 1480 capital of Tyrol (relocation of the residence to Innsbruck, but formally remained Meran until 1848 capital).
In the Middle Ages, there was a relationship between Vienna and Meran and others by the person of Andre Hiltprant "von Meran", born in Vienna before 1385, who was traceable as a (long-distance) merchant (cloth merchant) and local politician (1442 mayor in Vienna) in both cities (1416 and 1430 in Merano, where the catastrophic Passer flood of 1419 may have contributed that Hiltprant can not be detected in Meran in the 1420s) and whose ancestors evidently came from there.
After Meran had acquired a new importance as a city of education, it came in the Biedermeier era, significantly influenced by the Viennese society, to a slow upswing as a spa and tourist town. In 1827, the Austrian diplomat Bartholomäus Stürmer came to the grape cure in Obermais (now part of Meran). In 1836 Mathilde princess Schwarzenberg and her family doctor Johann Nepomuk Huber stayed in Merano (who published his observations and researches in book form in 1837); Huber became aware of the spot advertised as a "health resort" because of its mild climate and its grape and whey cures (analogous to the ascent of Bad Ischl with the help of the Viennese physician Franz Wirer); the mild climate was suitable both for a "wintering" of healthy people as well as a residence for those who wanted to treat their lung disease. In 1844, Archduke Johann bought Schenna Castle near Meran and, through his enthusiasm, aroused Merano's reputation as a climatically favored mountain town.
As in the 1850s, the number of spa guests rose, was in 1855 founded a spa club. Meran 1864 after the five most important spas of the monarchy (Carlsbad, Marienbad, Baden near Vienna, Bad Ischl and Badgastein) with 1,604 guests in last place, it reached 1913 with 38,901 guests the second place. Three events had 1857, 1870-1872 and 1881 significantly promoted this development: the construction of the Brenner Railway to Bolzano, the two winters (1870/1871 and 1871/1872) of Empress Elisabeth (the first time in the castle Trauttmansdorff lodged and her monument today in a park named after her, which is connected to the castle since 2003 by the "Sisi Promenade") and the opening of the railway line from Bolzano to Merano (thus completing the connection to the Central European railway network).
In the first decade of the 20th century, Merano became the preferred residence of the Viennese nobility, whose relatives wanted to document their complete independence from working life through long stays. In its wake came (as in other resorts) literati (for example, 1882 and 1886 Arthur Schnitzler, 1897 Rainer Maria Rilke, 1906 and 1908 Stefan Zweig [including Palais Labers], from 1916 Herzmanovsky-Orlando and 1920 Franz Kafka) and artists (for example, between 1898 and 1902 Franz Defregger, 1908 Alfred Kubin or 1913 Albin Egger-Lienz) to Merano; in the 19th century we also meet a number of painters who were searching for motifs in Meran (for example Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender and Friedrich Gauermann). Of the often associated patronage (in the sense of invitations), both social circles may have benefited: the former in prestige, the latter in notoriety. Hotels were built in a central location (first near the train station as the no longer existing Grand Hotel Emma, later at the Passer (river) in the spa area (as the Hotel Meranerhof and built in 1904-1906 by Peter Delugan Palace Hotel [today Grand Hotel Palace] in which also Zweig once stayed, this hotel is probably the only one that not only maintained its rank to the present but steadily increased it.
The sanatoriums were built mainly in Obermais. 1900 the city theater was opened, 1907 the cure center house; when in the beginning mainly Bavarian architects had been engaged, was for the extension of the casino the widely known Art Nouveau architect Friedrich Ohmann from Vienna commissioned.
Among the composers who visited Meran include Béla Bartók 1900/1901, Egon Wellesz, Wilhelm Kienzl, who often conducted his "Evangelimann" in the Stadttheater in 1913 (and lived in Vienna from 1917) and Max Reger 1914 (sanatorium Martinsbrunn). Zweig lodged in Palais Labers, but also in the 1906 built palace hotel (now Grand Hotel Palace). In the 19th century we also meet a number of painters who were searching for motifs in Meran (for example Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender and Friedrich Gauermann). Famous writers (for example Roda Roda) gave readings here.
The number of Viennese people who came either from Merano to Vienna, and those who went to Merano and lived there until the end of their lives (for example Anton Ascher, the director of the Carl Theater, the school reformer Armand Dumreicher or the sculptor Josef Bilger), is big.
In the interwar period, especially politicians chose Merano as a residence, but also Richard Strauss, who stayed here for a long time in 1922 and from the 1930s, and Herzmanovsky-Orlando, who moved to Merano in 1916 and died here in 1954 at Rametz Castle.
Meran, Stadt in Südtirol (Merano, Alto Adige, Italien), Stadtrecht 1317, bis 1475 Münzstätte (Verlagerung nach Hall/Tirol), beziehungsweise bis 1480 Hauptstadt von Tirol (Verlagerung der Residenz nach Innsbruck, formal blieb Meran allerdings bis 1848 Hauptstadt).
Im Mittelalter ergab sich eine Beziehung zwischen Wien und Meran und anderen durch die Person des vor 1385 in Wien geborenen Andre Hiltprant "von Meran", der als (Fernhandels-)Kaufmann (Tuchhändler) und Kommunalpolitiker (1442 Bürgermeister in Wien) in beiden Städten nachweisbar ist (1416 und 1430 in Meran, wobei das katastrophale Passer-Hochwasser von 1419 möglicherweise dazu beigetragen hat, dass Hiltprant in den 1420er Jahren nicht in Meran nachgewiesen werden kann) und dessen Vorfahren offenkundig von dort stammten.
Nachdem Meran eine neue Bedeutung als Bildungsstadt erlangt hatte, kam es in der Biedermeierära, maßgeblich beeinflusst von der Wiener Gesellschaft, zu einem langsamen Aufschwung als Kur- und Tourismusstadt. 1827 kam der österreichische Diplomat Bartholomäus Stürmer zur Traubenkur nach Obermais (heute Teil von Meran), 1836 hielt sich Mathilde Fürstin Schwarzenberg mit ihrem Hausarzt Johann Nepomuk Huber in Meran auf (der seine Beobachtungen und Recherchen 1837 in Buchform veröffentlichte); durch Huber wurde man (analog zum Aufstieg von Bad Ischl mit Hilfe des Wiener Arztes Franz Wirer) auf den wegen seines milden Klimas als "Luftkurort" angepriesenen Ort und seine Trauben- und Molkekuren aufmerksam; das milde Klima eignete sich sowohl für eine "Überwinterung" Gesunder wie auch als Aufenthaltsort für jene, die ihr Lungenleiden behandeln wollten. 1844 kaufte Erzherzog Johann das nahe von Meran gelegene Schloss Schenna und weckte durch seine Schwärmerei den Ruf Merans als klimatisch begünstigte Gebirgsstadt.
Als in den 1850er Jahren die Zahl der Kurgäste stieg, begründete man 1855 einen Kurverein. Stand Meran 1864 nach den fünf bedeutendsten Kurorten der Monarchie (Karlsbad, Marienbad, Baden bei Wien, Bad Ischl und Badgastein) mit 1.604 Gästen an letzter Stelle, so erreichte es 1913 mit 38.901 Gästen den zweiten Rang. Drei Ereignisse hatten 1857, 1870-1872 und 1881 diese Entwicklung maßgeblich gefördert: der Bau der Brennerbahn bis Bozen, die zweimalige Überwinterung (1870/1871 und 1871/1872) von Kaiserin Elisabeth (die das erste Mal im Schloss Trauttmansdorff logierte und deren Denkmal heute in einem nach ihr benannten Park steht, der seit 2003 durch die "Sisi-Promenade" mit dem Schloss verbunden ist) sowie die Eröffnung der Bahnlinie von Bozen nach Meran (womit der Anschluss ans mitteleuropäische Bahnnetz vollendet war).
Im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich Meran zum bevorzugten Aufenthaltsort des Wiener Adels, dessen Angehörige durch lange Aufenthalte ihre völlige Unabhängigkeit vom Erwerbsleben dokumentieren wollten. In seinem Gefolge kamen (wie auch in anderen Kurorten) Literaten (beispielsweise 1882 und 1886 Arthur Schnitzler, 1897 Rainer Maria Rilke, 1906 und 1908 Stefan Zweig [unter anderem auf Schloss Labers], ab 1916 Herzmanovsky-Orlando und 1920 Franz Kafka) und Künstler (beispielsweise zwischen 1898 und 1902 Franz Defregger, 1908 Alfred Kubin oder 1913 Albin Egger-Lienz) nach Meran; im 19. Jahrhundert treffen wir auch auf eine Reihe von Malern, die sich zur Motivsuche in Meran aufhielten (beispielsweise Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender und Friedrich Gauermann). Von dem häufig damit verbundenen Mäzenatentum (im Sinne von Einladungen) dürften beide Gesellschaftskreise profitiert haben: erstere an Ansehen, letztere an Bekanntheitsgrad. Hotels entstanden in zentraler Lage (zunächst in der Nähe des Bahnhofs wie das nicht mehr bestehende Grand Hotel Emma, später an der Passer im Kurbereich (wie das Hotel Meranerhof und das 1904-1906 von Peter Delugan erbaute Palast-Hotel [heute Grand Hotel Palace], in dem auch Zweig einmal logierte; dieses Hotel ist wohl das einzige, das seinen Rang bis in die Gegenwart nicht nur behaupten, sondern stetig erhöhen konnte.
Die Sanatorien wurden hauptsächlich in Obermais errichtet. 1900 wurde das Stadttheater eröffnet, 1907 das Kurmittelhaus; hatte man anfangs überwiegend bayerische Architekten verpflichtet, beauftragte man für den Erweiterungsbau des Kurhauses den weithin bekannten Jugenstilarchitekten Friedrich Ohmann aus Wien.
Zu den Komponisten, die Meran besuchten, gehören Béla Bartók 1900/1901, Egon Wellesz, Wilhelm Kienzl, der 1913 im Stadttheater oftmals seinen "Evangelimann" dirigierte (und ab 1917 in Wien lebte) sowie Max Reger 1914 (Sanatorium Martinsbrunn). Zweig logierte in Schloss Labers, aber auch im 1906 erbauten Palast-Hotel (heute Grand Hotel Palace). Im 19. Jahrhundert treffen wir auch auf eine Reihe von Malern, die sich zur Motivsuche in Meran aufhielten (beispielsweise Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender und Friedrich Gauermann). Berühmte Schriftsteller (beispielsweise Roda Roda) hielten hier Lesungen.
Die Zahl von Wienern, die entweder aus Meran nach Wien kamen, und jener, die nach Meran gingen und dort bis an ihr Lebensende lebten (beispielsweise Anton Ascher, der Direktor des Carl-Theaters, der Schulreformer Armand Dumreicher oder der Bildhauer Josef Bilger), ist groß.
In der Zwischenkriegszeit wählten besonders Politiker Meran als Aufenthaltsort, aber auch Richard Strauss, der sich 1922 und ab den 1930er Jahren längere Zeit hier aufhielt, und Herzmanovsky-Orlando, der 1916 nach Meran übersiedelte und hier 1954 auf Schloss Rametz verstarb.
