Phone-free day: A sign of youth seeking connection with nature

The "Phone-free day" is an initiative taken by a group of young people led by slam poet Jean Wood Jude. The first two editions took place on September 30 and October 29, 2024 in Kenscoff. The next edition is scheduled for November 30, still in the town of Kenscoff, above Pétion-Ville

The practice is intended to be innovative, in that it provides an ideal setting for the public (generally young) that facilitates their interconnection, by guaranteeing them a better connection to books, traditional games, and the lush nature of Kenscoff.

The usefulness of the telephone

The telephone, over time, has become an essential tool in people’s lives, its omnipresence and its importance, making it difficult to imagine any desire to put it away from oneself, even if only for the time it takes to eat. Its absence for a period of time has downright become a real source of anxiety. With the significant technological developments, and the surprising evolution of artificial intelligence, the world promises to become more and more computerized, thus making the need to have a smartphone even more essential in large cities.

In a country like Haiti, where traditional means of leisure, which can facilitate social cohesion, such as movie theaters, sports arenas, large concert halls, or even giant libraries, are conspicuous by their great absence. A country where financial inclusion for a good majority of its population involves mobile applications, the usefulness of the telephone is no longer in doubt. However, the telephone, like any other element in this world, also has its harmful side. The addictive tendency developed around it is not the least. It has become, over time, for some people, a real mental health issue. Hence the importance of initiatives such as telephone-free days, which provide an attractive environment, where people (young people in particular) can try the idea of ​​moving away from this precious sesame for a day, to offer themselves a better connection to nature.

Its ecological importance

Any attempt to connect 21st century humans to nature is an honorable gesture. The "Phone-Free Day" initiative also has this particularity that makes it even more special. Man, in contact with nature, becomes more aware of its value and is more likely to willingly commit to its defense. This is a fact that cannot be denied.

In addition, we are in the era of climate change, where the duty of collective awareness in the face of the accelerated degradation of our environment has become more than a necessity. The "Phone-Free Day" is an initiative that, if it becomes widespread, would allow the planet to make significant energy savings, because the mobile applications that we use every day and recent AI tools consume large amounts of energy to power their main databases. By reducing the number of consumers of these digital tools to a certain level.

This is an expensive offer that we are making to the atmosphere, which has not been able to breathe normally for some time, due to the harmful effects of human energy practices.

Sign of an innovative youth

Youth find themselves, rightly, on the front line in the face of the accelerated digitalization of our daily lives. It is up to her, most certainly, to identify the good and bad sides of this new reality that is imposed on her, in order to be able to prioritize good practices and know what exactly to leave aside. It is precisely at this level that this initiative called "Phone-Free Day" is among the good news. Because it reveals an awareness of the permanent dangers that could represent the unlimited connection advocated by the new masters of the world, and equips itself with the means to be able to counteract it with healthier practices, thus facilitating social cohesion by making it possible for people to connect with each other. It is an initiative that would deserve a long-term commitment, in order to be able to generalize, and reach as many people as possible.

Haiti: A look back at the First Rara Weekend in Petit-Goave

Haitian culture is a true treasure, woven from the creativity of its artists, its rich heritage and the diversity of its cultural expressions. Among these cultural gems, the rara stands as a true national emblem, uniting Haitians through its captivating rhythms and centuries-old traditions. During the first Rara weekend, this very essence of Haitian culture shone brightly, revealing palpable social cohesion. Despite the absence of law enforcement, tranquility reigned in Petit-Goâve, testifying to the ability of citizens to come together in peace and conviviality. However, media attention was mainly focused on the first plain, leaving a certain imbalance in the coverage of the festivities. Ratyèfè, three-time reigning champion, once again captivated minds with his talent and artistic mastery, offering an unparalleled spectacle. But his rival, Lambi gran dlo, was not to be outdone, displaying a determination to compete for first place. The event was also marked by unfortunate incidents, reminding us that despite the beauty of tradition, tensions can arise. Clashes between fans of different groups tarnished the festive atmosphere, highlighting the need for careful management of celebrations to avoid such excesses. At the heart of this musical competition, where each group aspires to recognition and victory, a complex picture of rivalries and alliances emerges. Chenn tamarin, although appearing asleep in the first moments, shows signs of waking up, ready to shake up the established order. On Sunday evening, Lambi gran dlo honored the memory of one of its loyal supporters, while Grap Kenèp was the scene of violence between fans, recalling the fragility of social cohesion when passion runs wild. In this whirlwind of emotion and competition, it is crucial to keep in mind that it is the journalist who must look to the events, and not the other way around. This is how we draw up the first ranking for this first weekend: 1. Ratyèfè 2. Lambi grand dlo 3. Chenn tamarind Beyond the results, it is the preservation of unity and mutual respect that must remain at the heart of these celebrations, making the rara not only a musical festival, but above all a symbol of the wealth and resilience of the people Haitian.

Caractéristique d’un lapin

Les lapins sont des mammifères appartenant à la famille des Leporidae. Voici quelques-unes de leurs caractéristiques principales : 1. **Physique** : Les lapins ont un corps couvert de fourrure douce, des oreilles longues et droites, de grands yeux sur les côtés de leur tête, et une queue courte et duveteuse. Ils possèdent de puissantes pattes arrière adaptées au saut. 2. **Taille et poids** : La taille et le poids peuvent varier considérablement selon la race, allant d’environ 500 grammes pour les plus petits à plus de 5 kilogrammes pour les plus grands. 3. **Comportement** : Les lapins sont connus pour être sociaux et peuvent vivre en groupes dans la nature. Ils communiquent entre eux par différents moyens, y compris par des sons et des mouvements corporels. Les lapins creusent des terriers pour y vivre et se protéger des prédateurs. 4. **Alimentation** : Ils sont herbivores, se nourrissant principalement de foin, d’herbes, de feuilles, de fleurs, et de certains légumes. Leur système digestif est adapté pour traiter une grande quantité de fibres. 5. **Reproduction** : Les lapins sont réputés pour leur capacité à se reproduire rapidement, avec des gestations courtes d’environ 28 à 31 jours. Une portée peut compter de un à douze lapereaux, selon la race. 6. **Sens** : Ils ont une excellente vision périphérique pour détecter les mouvements tout autour d’eux, mais ont une zone aveugle juste devant leur nez. Leur ouïe est également très développée, leur permettant de capter des sons à de grandes distances. 7. **Espérance de vie** : En captivité, les lapins peuvent vivre de 7 à 10 ans, selon la race et les soins prodigués, tandis que dans la nature, leur espérance de vie est généralement plus courte en raison des prédateurs et des maladies. Ces animaux nécessitent des soins appropriés, notamment un régime alimentaire équilibré, de l’exercice, et une attention particulière à leur bien-être émotionnel et physique pour vivre une vie saine et heureuse en captivité.
