The MedDebate club is happy to invite you to their first open debate about "Anxiety" on Tuesday, March 22nd 2011 at the CRI Paris (seminar room 2006), followed by a dinner at the CRI to carry on with the discussion ...

We will welcome three special guests :
- Annie Felten, medical doctor specialized in microbiology and acupuncturist,
- Alexandre Maciuk, pharmacist,
- Céline Besseling, clinical psychologist.

During this debate, the speakers will introduce themselves (professional background, everyday practice) and give their personal approach of anxiety. You will have the opportunity to ask them questions about the subjects you'd like to hear about during the debate.


About the CRI Med Debate club
Coordinators: Pamela Duboc, Jehanne Malek, Daniel Smiljovski

The goal of this club is to discuss and debate about the limits of the occidental approach to science and medical sciences. The members think that some practices are discredited in our countries for cultural, but not sufficiently validated, reasons. For example, acupuncture is very often practiced in the oriental cultures and can be effective for various conditions. However, western medical system continues to consider it as a minor medicine or even charlatanism.
It seems to the members that the West locked itself into values which it contributed to bring to the fore, such as the practice of the cartesian logic, the faith in a powerful science dissecting every mechanism that it does not understand... This frame of mind allowed for enormous progress, in particular in sciences. Nevertheless, it is limited by its habit of rejecting practices that it cannot explain, especially concerning medical practices.

deux parcours, une même volonté de changer le monde

Extraits :

"Dur d'associer ces deux hommes au premier regard tant leurs domaines de recherche semblent éloignés... Malgré des parcours et des discussions buissonnants, ils s'accordent pourtant sur plusieurs mots clés : créativité, recherche, éducation et pluridisciplinarité.. Des composantes essentielles du monde de demain."

"Le domaine de l'éducation reste primordial. « A l'échelle de la planète, les grands problèmes ne peuvent pas être traités si celui de l'éducation n'est pas résolu d'abord. On forme des gens dans un monde qui ne sera pas celui dans lequel ils interagiront ». Il faut leur donner des clés pour que l'on puisse s'adapter au monde qui change vite."

On this wednesday, with MakeSense, the social business platform, we are organizing a brainstorm with François Taddei on education smile : we will exchange ideas on how games could be used for educationnal purposes.
The objectives for this challenge will be to make an open source system, based on both online platform and offline experimentations.

The brainstorm will start at 6pm, and will be organized at the CRI
