For the Christmas season, the blog and its writers will take a little break ... But before leaving, here's a gift straight from the Sommer Foundation .

notamment, les professionnels des institutions et les politiques, à l'intérêt de la médiation animale et à ses différentes formes de pratiques! A few months ago, the foundation has produced a film called "Comma and others, the animal mediation." This documentary was designed to raise awareness, particularly, the professional institutions and policies in the interest of animal mediation and its different forms of practice! In most French schools, contact with the living and nature has been lost. Mediation can renew this link animal and sometimes unlock or facilitate relations. This film tries to illustrate it. It offers support for reflection and for professionals and institutions can be a lever for the latter took over the practice.

. Five locations were chosen to illustrate the diversity and richness of animal mediation, they are not enough of course to summarize our practice but serve to illustrate the value of mediation. The film thus shows that the animal mediation can be applied to different audiences, and mediators that animals can be very diverse. Remember last week we told you about animal mediation with llamas.

(animaux, bénéficiaires, personnel…). Un cadre de référence et de travail est donc à construire pour rassembler tous les acteurs AAA… Vous imaginez bien que ce n'est pas simple ! Mais un certain nombre de personnes s'est déjà mis au travail et tentera de faire des propositions; vous devriez en savoir davantage courant 2010. The documentary also provides trading, sharing of experiences and practices but also to learn about this form of relationship. However, if we all want the animal mediation grows, we also wish that the done in respect of all and it does no harm (animals, beneficiaries, staff ...). A framework and is working to build to bring all actors AAA ... You can imagine that it is not easy! But a number of people has already started work and will try to make proposals, you should learn more during 2010. Soon, you will also find in any bookstore a book about the regulations concerning the introduction of a dog in the medico-social environment. We will keep you informed of course ...

In the meantime I invite you to discover places 5 practicing animal mediation and therefore 5 videos from "Comma and the other, mediation animal" ...
