At the time, this new training offer was accompanied by a new visual identity designed by Mahé Chemelle Born of the desire to promote the design section these notions were approached through typographic work evoking the creation of a new language whose deciphering requires an effort to access their universe like an extraterrestrial section located on another planet humorously evokes their geographical location (close to Lyon What may seem like a flaw can turn into a quality when you know the state of mind and the solidarity that can prevail among the students In 2022, the health context of the last few years and the competition between schools raise the question of the school's own distinctive character and identity. The "Pôle Supérieur de Design" then becomes "École Supérieure de Design Villefontaine": more legitimate New strategic issues were taken into account: the course of study had to be more distinct from the other courses offered by the school the previous logo already met strong identification and demarcation needs whose sign has been removed from the circumflex accent of "pole" plays its role as a signpost to which everyone can refer A big miss when you know the strength of the storytelling built in 2012 and in particular of the baseline "A degree from elsewhere" A small change in identity was necessary: a new name Villefontaine now proudly assumes its extraterrestrial origins facing an invasion of alien students landing on another planet: the planet Villefontaine There are two hidden notions in this sign: a planet and an eye If Villefontaine is associated with this distant planet design is associated with the notion of the eye The mission of a design school is to cultivate the eye in such a way as to make it open Thinking about form and anticipating uses requires this sharp eye this sensitive look at the world and at others His gaze opens the doors to the planet Villefontaine His years of study give him plenty of time to float in this extraterrestrial universe and perhaps one day to discover his own planet The typography was the object of a programming work in order to create different stylistic games for certain letters On the animated supports as on the static supports the ideas flow and Villefontaine becomes a place of creation in its own right typographic experimentation and digital coding On the border between the bizarre and the strange The sign being integrated as a character in its own right in the typographic block it allows for easy creation of variations adapting to all uses and all media its composition is entirely modular within the limits of the respect of the proportions and typographic styles of the logotype Villefontaine's teams and students can now have fun placing their planet just about anywhere in their universe The school keeps only white and black as its main colors to create an identity color chart for each training; in the other to live with the creative universe of each student Thanks to Maryline Rochette (Head of School at Lycée Léonard de Vinci to Laurent Thiebaud (School Coordinator and Professor of Design and Arts and Crafts) to Jean-Baptiste Joatton (Professor of Design) Thanks to Kevin Vennitti (Developer and Professor of design) for his research and his investment CONTACTS Web site network was merged into the company World Duty Free S.r.l was transformed into a joint-stock company with the name World Duty Free S.p.A..  Download the document       Go to the website Inaugurated on Thursday 17 May, they represent two of the most formidable concepts in the Group’s brand portfolio: Bistrot and Starbucks. Villefontaine: an attractive offering in a strategic place Located near Lyon and covering an area of 22,000 m2, The Village in Villefontaine will eventually have a total of 120 stores and a 150-room hotel. Autogrill chose this place because of its strategic position and a catchment area of exceptional potential. Close to the A43 motorway, it can count on a daily flow of around 30,000 cars. It’s near Lyon in the Rhône-Alpes region, the second biggest economic centre in France after Paris: there are two million people living within a 30 minute drive and six million within a 90 minute drive. It was an opportunity Autogrill was determined not to miss, because it was sure of being able to successfully respond to consumers’ expectations and current trends by deploying its hallmark skills: One of Autogrill Group’s most successful brands, Bistrot is now aiming at full recognition in France too, having already enjoyed an excellent reception in some 26 points of sale worldwide (Germany, Switzerland, Canada, China, and Italy of course). Bistrot is the fruit of an exclusive partnership between the Group and the University of Gastronomic Science in Pollenzo and its mission is to offer high quality local products. True to short supply chain principles, it privileges in-season ingredients from suppliers selected for the quality of what they make in the territory in which the Bistrot is located. Bistrot - The Village covers some 545 square metres in a setting reminiscent of a market and with a design drawing on both contemporary and vintage. It has four counters at which customers, inspired by the menus, can compose their own Lyon "terroir" and eat healthy food prepared and cooked on the spot: Bistrot’s objective is to give lovers of fine eating a place where they can feel at home, somewhere made to measure just for them. In addition to the normal tables, there’s an area with armchairs and also a spectacular terrace in which to enjoy one’s meal in absolute tranquillity. Starbucks is a byword for coffee, anywhere in the world. Its “coffee lounges” are meeting points both for people in a hurry and for those who want to relax in a peaceful and comfortable place. Starbucks also offers a vast range of hot and cold drinks such as cappuccino, macchiato, Viennese chocolate, Frappuccino and many others prepared by professional bartenders, not mention a huge selection of sweet and savoury specialities (muffins, cakes, salads, sandwiches and croissants) served at any time of the day in an industrial loft style ambience that’s very warm and welcoming. The Village's Starbucks, the 7th to be operated by Autogrill Group in France, covers 158 square metres and seats 55 people, including 11 on its outdoor terrace. Autogrill is the world’s leading provider of food & beverage services for travellers. The Group is present in 30 countries on 4 continents, operates in about 774 locations managing about 3,300 points of sale with about 46,000 employees and is present in 139 airports. © 2020 Autogrill S.p.A. - P.IVA 01630730032 Per utilizzare AccessiWay devi prima accettare i cookie statistici This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

'It’s a rare moment when you see someone with so much hate for you come and apologise' I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice beside his Muslim neighbours inside their Connecticut mosque last Saturday The enormity of that gesture was lost on no one on the night of the terror attacks in Paris when 48-year-old Hakey went to a local bar and downed 10 drinks drank some more and loaded his 9mm handgun and an M14 rifle He went into his yard and fired rounds at the side of the mosque next door His Facebook page was laden with vile anti-Muslim hate speech he noted living next to a mosque and keeping watch on them with “binos” (presumably president of the Baitul Aman “House of Peace” Mosque wished he had been a better neighbour by making an effort to get to know Mr Hakey and his wife Mr Hakey would not have harboured so much anger five months after Mr Hakey’s bullets were found inside near the prayer area Dr Qureshi invited him to an event at the mosque the congregants welcomed them without judegment Mr Hakey tearfully apologised for the pain he caused them Mr Hakey had asked his lawyer for the chance to apologise so Dr Qureshi and a few others had met with Mr Hakey privately a week earlier on Good Friday brought Mr Hakey chocolate Easter eggs as a gift “I’ve never had anything like this,” Dr Qureshi said of that first meeting I could feel it in his heart and his eyes that he meant what he said I felt like he was saying it from his heart It’s a rare moment when you see someone with so much hate for you come and apologise.” But some members of the congregation remained wary knowing a man lived next door who had wished them harm Dr Qureshi invited Mr Hakey to come visit the mosque so he could show them he was sorry “Going forward I want to help you bridge that gap and help someone else not make the same mistake I did.” Mr Hakey, in an interview, said he was “so overwhelmed” by how graciously he was treated after what he had done. He said he’s now hearing from Muslims all over the world thanking him for coming forward to apologise. “The forgiveness was so genuine,” he said. “I realised they were really good people and the whole way they handled it was above and beyond.” His wife, Myra, who went with him, said she too was amazed by how warmly they were welcomed. She admitted that while she didn’t hold the same extreme feelings as her husband against Muslims, she too was uneducated and felt afraid. “There were women crying and thanking me and said they were praying we would come,” she said. “There’s so much hate and these people just want peace.” Dr Qureshi’s mosque practices a type of Islam called Ahmadiyya, a reform sect that believes the Messiah has already come. That man, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, taught that “jihad by the sword” is not Islam and advocated for the end of religious wars and bloodshed. Ahmadiyya believers have launched a “True Islam” campaign to distinguish the religion from extremism. It highlights 11 principles that if all Muslims endorsed there would be no terrorism, Dr Qureshi said. They include belief in nonviolent Jihad, human rights, and the understanding that “no religion can monopolise salvation.” This is the message he imparted to Mr Hakey, who in turn, promised to educate others. In February, Mr Hakey pleaded guilty to damaging religious property, which is a federal hate crime. He will be sentenced in May and faces up to 14 months in jail. Dr Qureshi said his community will do its part to advocate for a lesser sentence. Hate crimes against Muslims increased tenfold after 9/11 to nearly 500 in 2001. In 2014, the last year for which data is available from the FBI, there were 154 incidents recorded. That’s still about five times higher than the rate before 9/11. To Dr Qureshi’s point that most prejudice is rooted in people being uninformed, more than 60 percent of Americans say they don’t personally know someone who is Muslim, according to a 2014 Pew Research survey. And Americans viewed Muslims more negatively than any other religious group. Dr Qureshi said he is heartened by his new friendship with Mr Hakey, hoping the former antagonist can now be a powerful voice to counter the negativity against Islam. “To see him there was very emotional,” Dr Qureshi said. “Imagine a few months ago he was our enemy. You have to see his side. His side is he had to have courage to be there among those people he once didn’t like. I think the man has had a change of heart.” Mr Hakey - who also credits a court-mandated addiction treatment program that includes meditation and gardening with helping him find some inner clarity - said he has already started countering hateful posts on Facebook. “Please listen to me, you’re absolutely wrong about this,” he said he commented when he saw someone disparaging Muslims. When they argued back, he said he replied, “I shot a mosque, don’t tell me about it. You need to be educated.” “Every day you’re bombarded with negative images and posts misquoting the Koran,” Mr Hakey said. He said it was all confusing and made the distinction between terrorists and all Muslims blurred. “He was misguided in that sense and that is what made him do what he did,” Dr Qureshi said. “Once I showed him our faith it made sense to him.” Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies Felicity is a reporter for Newsweek Europe based in London either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content Information passed to Newsweek has revealed that global horror over child abuse and its concealment by the Establishment Thousands of children in French schools have been sexually abused by paedophile teachers accusing the French education authorities of a decades-long "cover-up" The revelations emerged when a 45-year-old headteacher in the town of Villefontaine was accused last month of blindfolding two six-year-old pupils and forcing them to perform oral sex on him as part of a workshop on "experiencing new tastes" who confessed to raping nine other children at the school had a 2008 conviction for possessing images of child pornography he had not been banned from working with children The French education system is set to become the focus of a national scandal after minister for education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem was forced to admit last week that 16 teachers were allowed to work in schools last year despite holding previous convictions for paedophilia as well as seven others from the ages of three to seven says in an exclusive interview with Newsweek that the cases coming to light at the moment are only "the tip of the iceberg" says: "The ministry of education has covered this up for years The government has never been inclined to listen to these stories." Sellier says her NGO is now being "showered" with reports of abuse One case can include complaints from as many as 20 children and Sellier forecasts thousands of cases will emerge which works to support and defend the rights of children teachers who try to speak out about child abuse at the hands of other teachers are silenced by school directors and local officials and even threatened with legal action – usually defamation "The taboo is extremely strong within the French national education system about the existence of paedophile acts committed against students," she says has promised a thorough investigation into "the failures of the system" and has described the abuse as "intolerable" The investigation will also ask why the ministry of justice did not regularly pass on information about convicted paedophiles to the ministry of education Yet Sellier argues that as well as changing the law so that anyone convicted of paedophilia is prevented from working with children children need to be listened to when they complain of abuse "Children don't brag about being raped or playing with a teacher for sex it's not like bragging about how many toy cars they own," she says "French people are now going mad over this Newsletters in your inbox See all Malo Gusto was late to organised football He was already ten years old when he trained properly for the first time It was then that his grandmother passed on some advice he keeps close to him to this day His father actually encouraged him to try his hand at rugby as a young boy but it was quickly apparent football was his calling He played with his friends on the streets of his local neighbourhood in Villefontaine I could learn from different cultures and countries Now I am more understanding of people’s backgrounds and I am used to speaking to people from all places ‘I was an only child so I grew up just with my parents My dad was born in Germany but he’s from Martinique My dad still works in a train company in France and my mum worked for an association for old people and people with disabilities She has retired now and just takes care of everything for us They helped me a lot to become a good person Malo was educated first at Jules Ferry School and then at the secondary schools of Rene Cassin and Sonia Delauney It was there Lyon first noticed his quality They encouraged him to join Bourgoin-Jallieu a more professional outfit 20 minutes down the road that their scouts kept closer tabs on Six months was it all it took for Lyon to add Malo to their books ‘I was 13 when I joined the Lyon academy,’ recalls the right-back ‘I left my parents’ house and moved on site I had a good relationship with the other guys but it was not like I was crying every day and I wanted to go home Malo would travel back to Villefontaine on the day off he was afforded each week hitherto a facet of the game unknown to him He understood how small details can make a big difference ‘The sacrifices were worth it,’ Malo reflects you have to make sacrifices when you are young I never asked myself if I was good enough to play professionally I never had an idea what I would do in life and then waited to see what happened after.’ Malo does not have to travel back too far to remember those times He looks back at them now with a sense of nostalgia Playing football purely for the joy it brings you A serious back injury at 14 kept Malo out for four or five months but having never been sidelined before he did not fear any long-term consequences ‘The future was not something I worried about,’ he says Malo was rewarded for some fine performances in Lyon’s academy teams when he was given his maiden professional contract when I saw how proud and happy my parents were,’ he smiles Antoine Lebrun OKAprès
