Saint Valentin urbaine

Saint Valentin urbaine

Submitted by admin on

Roses rouges, oeillets violets, cupcakes ornés de coeurs en sucre, et magie circassienne, la soirée de Saint Valentin le 14 février dernier a marqué les esprits par la poésie et les actes de générosité et d'amour qui ont vu le jour ce soir là à bord.

A travers l'objectif de Wayne Schoenfeld, photographe engagé au grand coeur et à l'objectif bien affûté,  l'équipe d'idAction Mobile a proposé une version urbaine et humaine de cette journée qui célèbre l'amour et la générosité. 
 
Diverses petites actions philantropiques ont été piochées par les participants : "écrire un mot à une personne qui a changé votre vie", "reprendre contact avec un vieil ami", "offrir une fleur à une personne dans le besoin" "offrir dix sourires au cours de la journée"...  de belles actions accomplies avec succès!
 
Grâce à Hannah et ses amies, plus de 70 mini cupcakes ont été confectionnés avec soin la veille, et distribués aux participants : une petite bouchée gourmande très appréciée!

Offertes par l'entreprise Marsolais, les fleurs, de toutes les couleurs, ont été reçues avec émotion : "je n'avais rien à offrir à la femme que j'aime, mais maintenant je file droit la retrouver", glisse l'un des participants à la vitre de Nadia, tandis que nous quittons le refuge des Projets Autochtones du Québec.

David Menes, invité spécial ce soir la, déambule, fleurs en main, dans les couloirs de métro, une balle de contact posée malicieusement sur le sommet du crâne. Les participants que nous croisons sont fascinés : tandis que David manipule avec habilité la boule de verre entre ses doigts, plusieurs demandent d'essayer, tentant de percer le mystère.

Carnets de dessins, stylos et calepins sont distribués comme de coutume : "you are challenging me !!", déclare Christopher, un immense sourire aux lèvres, recevant son kit d'art. Il promet de nous en faire partager le résultat! Alexandra, médiatrice ce soir la, propose également une sélection littéraire orientée sur la thématique de l'amour!
