This evaluative study focuses on the implementation and perceived effects of an in-person training program on knowledge translation, which is based on two massive open online courses (MOOCs). The training targeted staff members as well as partners of the Institut Pasteur de Madagascar. The study followed the Kirkpatrick model to evaluate the perceived effects of the training and the TIPEC framework (Technology, Individual, Pedagogy, and Enabling Conditions) to identify facilitators and barriers to its implementation. Data collection was guided by a convergent mixed-methods design. Thirty-two people completed the pre-training questionnaire, of these, 18 responded to the post-training questionnaire and 24 took part in semi-structured interviews five months after the training ended. Most participants indicated that the training, combining MOOCs with in-person support, met their needs, although some highlighted its intensity and high level of difficulty. The practical component of the training and the presence of a trainer were deemed essential to learning. The results suggest that the adopted pedagogical format may represent a relevant and accessible tool for the continuing education of professionals.

In this essay, we will argue that firstly, the international and national legal framings of religion or belief are limited in scope, and one must ask not only religious freedom for whom but also from whom. Secondly, we will underscore the continued limitations of international human rights-based discourse. Why are Indigenous nations consistently excluded from rights-based discourses? We have the UN Declaration on Human Rights (UNDHR), the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNPFII), the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP), this new report, and so many other reports. We will ask at what stage we move from declarations and reports to protecting and supporting Indigenous nations and peoples. Thirdly, building on the limitations of rights-based reporting, we will highlight what this report gets right and invite activists, lawyers, scholars, and all folks to take up and read the report and follow up on the elements we believe to be most salient. Finally, we will conclude by offering an alternative to declarations that support Indigenous nations and peoples’ inherent right to sovereignty. Our conclusion emphasizes Faithkeeper Lyons' urgent message, “The Ice is Melting in the North,” and provides a framework for how people could respond by explaining the Two Row Wampum treaty and the Two Row Wampum Method.

ENS and the Grand-Lyon occasionally invite intellectuals and political thinkers to share their points of view. These meetings aim to discuss new social regulations in the globalization. They invited, the Octobre 14, Daniel Innerarity and Dominic Desroches. The debate between them focused on the latest economic crisis and questioned the functioning of the economy and the politics after the crisis. The "marketplace", according to them, requires a new conceptualization because its development threatens our future. We present here a part of this interesting debate.
