Bart Weetjens: How I taught rats to sniff out land mines

Time: 17:30-19:30, Sunday, Oct 16 2011
Venue: Xindanwei, 50 Yongjia Rd.
Cost: 30 rmb/person

Bart Weet­jens is developing a new approach to the land ­mine detection problem: train­ing giant pouched rats to detect explosives in minute amounts.Bart Weetjens works with locals in Morogoro, Tanzania to run a world-class facility that trains rats to do something astonishing: sniff out land mines. (The African giant pouched rat, the species used in the project, is wide­spread in the region.) The rats that pass the train­ing — and the same rigorous testing applied to land mine-sniffing canines — become what Weetjens calls “HeroRATS.”

Bart Weetjens：我如何教老鼠寻找地雷的

时间：10月16日星期天，下午5点半-7点半
地点：永嘉路50号，新单位
费用：30元/每人

Bart于九岁生日时收到了他人生中第一只仓鼠作为礼物,自此萌生了他终身对啮齿类动物的迷恋。他早期的青少年生活有的很大一部分时间都于家 中饲养仓鼠及宠物鼠,并批发给宠物商店出售。长大后,Bart成为了产品开发工程师。他的团队开发概念包括现为欧洲各地的公共交通采用、可供轮椅上落的低台巴士。就在此 时,比利时媒体经常对于非洲的地雷受害者故事的报导,又给他带来了新的想法‐联合他对鼠类 的认识及产品开发的专能,为扫雷领域带来创新。虽然他的想法起初未能为捐助者认同,但Bart于他的母校安特卫普大学找到了援助 。通过与安特卫普大学有连接的坦桑尼亚Sokoine农业大学,Bart终于为他的扫雷鼠找到了一个家,并通过非洲和欧洲之间的密切合作,进一步发展成今天的HeroRATS。

[lang_en]3rd Ring Out: China

A talk and discussion at Xindanwei featuring UK artists Zoë Svendsen and Simon Daw, Co-Directors of 3rd Ring Out – an innovative project which uses art to explore climate change

Time: Saturday 9 July 2011, 14h00-17h00
Venue: Xindanwei, 50 Yongjia Rd., Shanghai
Language: English & Chinese
Cost: FREE and invitation only – with fresh coffee, tea, fruit and snacks provided
Organizers: 3rd Ring Out, Metis Arts, British Council China, Connections through Culture, Xindanwei

Are you an artist? Are you interested in climate change?

Zoë Svendsen and Simon Daw are UK artists and co-directors of 3rd Ring Out.  This unusual and innovative multi-media performance and installation toured the UK in 2010 and 2011, engaging with audiences to enable them to make decisions on how to respond to scenarios of a climate-changed future in 2033.

In partnership with Xindanwei, Zoë and Simon want to invite artists, environmentalists, climate scientists and people working at the intersection of these disciplines to an event which looks at the way in which art can address, explore and mediate questions triggered by climate change.

Please ‘save the date’ and join Zoë and Simon at Xindanwei on 9 July to hear more about 3rd Ring Out, and to share ideas and views on the relationship between art and climate change in China.

Schedule:
The event will use ‘open space’ methods to encourage self-directed group discussion, normally three or four groups. Time will be allowed for each of the groups to feed back towards the end of the afternoon.

Important: This is an invitation only event.
Zoë and Simon are keen to meet a broad cross section of people who have an insight into:
· Climate impacts in China – and their impacts on cities/urban living
· Planning issues around adaptation and change
· The cultural perception of climate change in China
· Emergency planning
We are also keen to meet artists and potential collaborators across the following disciplines, who might be interested in working on a Chinese version of 3rd Ring Out in 2012 as part of British Council China’s UK Now Festival:
· Writers
· Sound artists (composers and/or with experience of computer sound design)
· Video designers
· Interactive computer media creators
· Performers/live artists (especially if they also have one of the above skills and/or make their own work)

The focus of the event is on researching climate science and climate change. If you are interested by the subject and can connect with and contribute to some of the ideas behind 3rd Ring Out, please send an invitation request to us by calling 021-34280783 within office hours (9h30 – 18h00) or by sending an email to xindanwei@gmail.com with the following information provided:

In the second event of “Design2Change” series, Xindanwei brings to you the leading Asian social entrepreneur, the Hero of the Environment for 2008 by Time Magazine, Ashoka Fellow Jack Sim from Singapore.

Jack is a wonderful speaker and his work is highly inspiring. In 2001,after a successful career in the construction industry, Jack started asking himself probing questions. Couldn’t he be doing more for society? At that time, public debate over the cleanliness of Singapore’s toilets was daily news, and Jack found his calling in the improvement of sanitation worldwide. Globally, about 2.6 billion people still live without access to improved sanitation, leading to the deaths of nearly 6,000 children every day. To tackle this problem, Jack founded a pair of global initiatives, the World Toilet Organization (WTO) and the World Toilet College (WTC) to provide sanitation for everyone.

The World Toilet Organization (www.worldtoilet.org) is a membership organization of citizen groups, academia, and government agencies around the world whose work proves that progress on sanitation is possible. With 130 members in 51 countries (6 in China), WTO aligns citizen groups, budgets, and government agendas to underscore the urgency of proper sanitation, decouple sanitation and water for the purposes of funding, and direct earmarked funds to citizen sector and public-private partnerships.

On this trip to China, Jack hopes to share his experience of improving sanitation around the world, as well as find potential partners to further WTO’s work in China— where 650 million, approximately half of total population, still lack access to clean sanitation.

Jack Sim is supported by Ashoka, the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. Ashoka aims to identify similar entrepreneurs in China whose goal is to be of service to society, and provide them support to make their plans a reality. To do this Ashoka needs to develop a wide network of supporters. Ashoka’s ultimate vision is to create a world where every individual has the freedom, confidence and societal support to address social problems and drive change. More about Ashoka, please visit: www.ashoka.org

About Jack
Jack Sim was born in 1957 in Singapore. His life is a rags-to-riches tale with a surprising twist. When Jack was young, he did not do particularly well in school. He lacked the attention span and were too playful for the classroom. Following in the footsteps of his entrepreneurial mother, Jack later developed his own successful construction business, and credits his business success to the need to devise creative solutions. In 2001, when Jack had enough money in the bank to retire, his “real” life began. Jack followed his motto ‘Live A Useful Life’, and started asking himself probing questions. Couldn’t he be doing more for society, finding a more beneficial outlet for his creativity and rebellious nature? At that time, public debate over the cleanliness of Singapore’s toilets was daily news. That was when he found his calling, a calling which in time led to his being awarded the Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneur of the Year in 2001, and elected as an Ashoka Global Fellow in 2007.

关于本次活动
我们相信当我们一起探索一个更好的设计时, 改变就能在此发生. Design2Change试验田是一个通过相互协作来达到创新改变的平台. 那些想要通过设计和技术来影响社会公益的人可以在此平台相互连接. 共同探索创新而又可实施的方式方法，制定丰富而周密的计划。 我们的目标是为设计师,技术精英和社会企业家架起桥梁, 从而为协作创新营造一个更加开放的环境.

在design2change的第二期，新单位带你认识 亚洲社会企业家领袖, 时代杂志2008环境英雄, 来自新加坡爱创家的伙伴Jack Sim

Jack是一位出色的演说者, 他的工作非常令人鼓舞. 2001年在建筑业取得一番成功事业后, Jack开始询问自己一些探索性问题. 他在想是否能为社会做些什么东西呢? 与此同时公众对于新加坡厕所干净程度的讨论成为了每日新闻的一部分. Jack迸发除了改善世界公共卫生的愿望. 在全球有26亿人口仍然居住在未经改良的公共卫生环境中, 这导致了每日有6000名儿童死亡. 为了应对这个问题, Jack开创了世界厕所组织和世界厕所大学, 从而为每一个人提供良好的公共卫生环境.

世界厕所组织(www.worldtoilet.org) 是一个由公民团体、学术界和政府机构构成的会员组织，其130个会员遍布在世界各地的51个国家，其中6个会员来自中国。WTO将这些会员联合在一起以强调洁净的卫生设施和供水对社会的重要及紧急性，并募集资金投入到相关的领域中。他们的工作证明了，改善卫生设施并非一个遥不可及的目标。

爱创家是一家汇集了全球优秀社会企业家的国际机构。在中国，我们致力于推广社会企业理念，向中国介绍世界享誉盛名的社会企业家，以及分享他们对全球性社会问题的解决方法。与此同时，我们亦致力于在中国发掘类似的社会企业家为他们提供必要的支持，从而帮助他们实现改善社会的计划。我们同时也需要构建一个融合各方意见及支持的网络，以协助我们的工作。爱创家的使命，是要建造一个人人都能够有机会、有信心、有支持地去用创新的办法解决社会问题并引领改变的世界。www.ashoka.or

关于Jack
1957年出生于新加坡的沈锐华(Jack Sim)，一生充满着传奇色彩。小时候的沈锐华，好动、缺乏注意力，从来就不是一个公认的好学生。踏入社会后，他以自己的创业本能，从零开始创建自己的建筑事业，并获得了巨大的成功。此时，小时候的缺点已俨然变成了优点——沈锐华把自己在商业上的成功，归功于那些富有创造力的解决方。2001年，当40岁出头的沈锐华已赚到足以支持退休的存款时，他的生活才真正开始。跟随着自己的座右铭，“过有意义的生活”，沈锐华开始探索自己生命的意义：他能够为这个世界做更多的贡献，为自己的创造力和不因循守旧的性格寻找一个更好的出口吗？凑巧当时新加坡厕所的洁净程度正成为全国热话。热烈的讨论触动了沈锐华的创意，并引领他开始了人生的另一段传奇。

-The event will be followed by a network after drink to connect Nordic and Chinese designers and social entrepreneurs and to celebrate the grand opening of Xindanwei new space.

We believe that change happens when we design better, together. Design2Change is a platform to make that collaborative change happen. It is to connect people who want to explore ways that design and technology can positively impact our communities – ways that are thoughtful, informed, creative and responsible. Our mission is to bridge designer and technologist communities with social entrepreneurs by providing an open ground for collaborative innovation.

In the first event of “Design2Change” series, Xindanwei brings to you the robot developer and product designers from Nordic countries who help those with (physical or mental) limitations to express themselves, to make (and keep making) their own choices, stay independent and participate fully in the information society.

This event is realized with the generous support of ROBOT DALEN “The Robot Valley” from Sweden and KADAVER – the project team of THE CREATIVE NORTH. For more innovative and creative examples of the design products and services and the process which plays a significant role in the Nordic welfare system, please visit THE CREATIVE NORTH exhibition in Nordic Lighthouse and attend a special reception on Oct 11, 2010, please confirm your attendance by sending a mail to thecreativenorth@gmail.com or visit www.thecreativenorth.com for more information.

Wait, there is more …
