La Démarche d'Observation Locale de la Vie Associative (OLVA)

Résumé

La démarche d'Observation Locale de la Vie Associative (OLVA), pilotée par le Réseau National des Maisons des Associations (RNMA), est une initiative structurée visant à combler le manque de données sur le tissu associatif à l'échelle territoriale.

Face à une statistique publique jugée insuffisante et mal adaptée aux réalités associatives, l'OLVA propose une méthodologie rigoureuse pour objectiver les réalités, mesurer les évolutions et permettre des comparaisons entre territoires.

La finalité est de "connaître pour agir" : transformer la connaissance produite en actions concrètes, en politiques publiques éclairées et en un accompagnement plus pertinent pour les associations.

La démarche repose sur deux piliers :

• une enquête quantitative (l'observation) via un questionnaire standardisé d'une cinquantaine de questions, et

• la création d'une dynamique partenariale (l'observatoire) associant acteurs associatifs et publics.

Ce processus se décline en trois phases : la préparation (définition des enjeux locaux, formation), la diffusion de l'enquête (mobilisation des partenaires), et l'analyse des données suivie d'actions post-enquête.

Le RNMA fournit un accompagnement complet incluant des formations, des outils (questionnaire, plateforme en ligne), l'analyse statistique et la mise en réseau des quelque 50 observatoires actifs.

Les livrables finaux incluent une infographie synthétique, une analyse des associations employeuses et un rapport d'enquête détaillé, conçus pour aider à la décision, renforcer la reconnaissance du secteur et mettre en débat les enjeux de la vie associative.

1. Contexte et Origine de la Démarche

1.1. Le Réseau National des Maisons des Associations (RNMA)

Le RNMA est une tête de réseau regroupant un peu plus de 100 structures membres réparties sur le territoire français.

Sa spécificité réside dans l'hybridité de ses membres, qui incluent des Maisons des Associations sous statut associatif et des services "Vie Associative" de collectivités publiques.

Cette diversité est considérée comme une richesse pour le réseau.

Les missions principales du RNMA sont :

• Faire réseau : Créer des synergies entre les membres via des rencontres nationales et des projets communs. • Coordonner des projets : L'OLVA est un exemple de projet né d'un enjeu commun identifié : le besoin de connaissance de la vie associative locale. D'autres chantiers portent sur l'engagement ou le métier d'accompagnateur. • Être un relais : Porter les enjeux et problématiques des membres et des associations qu'ils accompagnent auprès des partenaires publics et privés.

1.2. La Genèse de l'OLVA

La démarche OLVA est née d'un constat fondamental : la méconnaissance de la vie associative à l'échelle d'un territoire. La statistique publique est jugée "assez faible" pour décrire ce secteur, étant principalement conçue pour le monde économique.

Pour répondre à ce besoin, le RNMA s'est inspiré dès 2006 des travaux de Viviane Chardononog, chercheuse au CNRS qui produit régulièrement des "paysages associatifs français".

La méthodologie d'observation nationale a été adaptée et déclinée à l'échelle locale de manière progressive, par des tests puis la création d'outils.

Depuis 2021, une évolution majeure a été la mise en place d'un système de lancement d'observations synchronisées, créant des "vagues" d'observatoires. Cette approche facilite l'accompagnement et génère une dynamique d'échange et de partage entre les territoires participants.

2. Les Objectifs Stratégiques de l'OLVA

La démarche poursuit un objectif principal : "Connaître pour agir". La connaissance n'est pas une fin en soi, mais un levier pour transformer les réalités et répondre aux besoins identifiés.

2.1. Objectifs Liés à l'Observation

1. Objectiver les réalités : Dépasser les "ressentis" sur la structuration du tissu associatif en produisant des chiffres et des données factuelles.

2. Mesurer les évolutions : Après une première enquête qui établit une "photo statique", les observations suivantes permettent de comparer les "millésimes" et de suivre les dynamiques sur le long terme.

3. Se comparer : La méthodologie commune appliquée sur une cinquantaine de territoires permet de situer les réalités locales par rapport à d'autres territoires et aux tendances nationales décrites par Viviane Chardononog.

2.2. Objectifs Liés à l'Action

• Aider à la décision : Fournir des données pour orienter les politiques publiques des collectivités et les stratégies d'accompagnement des structures d'appui associatives.

• Communiquer sur le secteur : Lutter contre les préjugés sur le monde associatif en partageant des réalités objectivées.

• Favoriser la reconnaissance : Mettre en lumière la transversalité et la globalité de la vie associative, souvent cloisonnée par secteurs (sport, culture, etc.) au sein des collectivités. L'enquête permet d'aborder les enjeux de manière transversale.

• Créer du commun : Les temps de restitution de l'enquête sont des occasions pour des associations de secteurs différents de se rencontrer, de partager des difficultés communes et de créer une "espèce de commun de la vie associative".

• Mettre en débat : Utiliser les résultats de l'enquête pour identifier les difficultés, se poser les bonnes questions et rassembler les acteurs autour de la table.

3. Méthodologie et Déroulement

La démarche OLVA s'articule autour de deux axes complémentaires : l'observation (l'enquête elle-même) et l'observatoire (la dynamique partenariale).

3.1. L'Enquête (L'Observation) Il s'agit d'une enquête principalement quantitative, avec la possibilité d'y associer un volet qualitatif (par exemple, via un partenariat universitaire).

Le Questionnaire : * • Format : Environ 50 questions. * • Temps de remplissage : Environ 20 minutes.

• Structure en 4 parties :

• 1. Profil de l'association : Secteur d'activité, âge, périmètre d'action.
• 1. Membres de l'association : Profil des dirigeants, bénévoles, volontaires.
• 1. Moyens de fonctionnement : Ressources, régime de financement, locaux.
• 1. Besoins et perspectives.

Ce questionnaire "tronc commun" peut être complété par des questions spécifiques définies en fonction des enjeux du territoire.

3.2. La Dynamique Partenariale (L'Observatoire)

C'est un aspect essentiel qui consiste à associer d'autres acteurs du territoire concernés par l'enquête (fédérations associatives, acteurs publics, etc.). Cette collaboration vise à : • Garantir une large diffusion du questionnaire au-delà des contacts habituels. • Permettre une action post-enquête en impliquant dès le départ ceux qui pourront répondre aux besoins exprimés. • Favoriser l'interconnexion des acteurs du territoire.

3.3. Les Trois Phases de la Démarche

Phase

Description des Actions

1. Préparation de l'enquête

2. • Définition des objectifs et enjeux spécifiques au territoire.<br>
3. • Formulation des questions complémentaires au tronc commun.<br>
4. • Mobilisation des données existantes (notamment INSEE pour les associations employeuses).<br>
5. • Organisation de formations par le RNMA.

2. Diffusion et recueil

• • Mobilisation de l'observatoire et des partenaires pour une diffusion large (en ligne, questionnaire papier).<br>
• • Association possible avec des événements forts (ex: Forum des associations).<br>
• • Animation de la collecte : phoning, relances ciblées par secteur pour assurer un échantillon cohérent.<br>
• • Accompagnement du RNMA pour le suivi de la qualité de l'échantillon.

3. Analyse et post-enquête

• • Analyse statistique des données réalisée par le RNMA (vérification de cohérence, croisements de variables).<br>
• • Partage des premiers résultats avec le porteur de projet pour identifier des axes d'approfondissement.<br>
• • Organisation du travail post-enquête pour répondre aux besoins identifiés et dialoguer avec les pouvoirs publics.

4. Moyens et Accompagnement du RNMA

4.1. Moyens Humains Requis

Le RNMA identifie trois fonctions clés à mobiliser pour mener à bien une démarche OLVA :

• 1. Pilotage : Gestion de projet (planification, suivi, moyens).

• 2. Animation : Mobilisation des partenaires, diffusion de l'enquête, communication. Cette fonction peut être assurée en interne ou via des stagiaires ou services civiques.

• 3. Analyse : Assurée par le RNMA, avec une possibilité de transfert de compétences ("formation-action") vers la structure porteuse pour de futures observations.

4.2. Appuis Fournis par le RNMA

• Accompagnement et Formations :

• ◦ Structurer une démarche d'observation (2 jours) : en amont du projet.
• ◦ Analyse de données (1 jour) : en fin d'enquête, pour maîtriser les résultats.
• ◦ Mener une enquête éclair : formation pour des enquêtes plus simples et rapides sur des sujets spécifiques.

• Outillage : Fourniture du questionnaire tronc commun, mise en ligne, plateforme de collecte de données et outils issus de l'expérience des autres territoires.

• Analyse de données : Exploitation des données existantes (créations d'associations, associations employeuses) et analyse complète des données collectées.

• Mise en réseau et valorisation : ◦ Organisation de journées d'échange de pratiques deux fois par an pour les 50 observatoires. ◦ Valorisation des travaux locaux via des colloques, articles, etc.

4.3. Livrables

Trois types de documents sont produits à l'issue de l'analyse :

• 1. Infographie "Les chiffres clés de la vie associative" : Un document synthétique et visuel de 4 pages, facile à diffuser.
• 1. Document sur les associations employeuses : Une analyse courte basée sur les dernières données INSEE Flores.
• 1. Rapport d'enquête complet : Un document d'environ 40 pages traitant toutes les questions avec graphiques, commentaires et détail de la méthodologie.

5. Partenariats et Enjeux Territoriaux (Synthèse des échanges)

5.1. Articulation avec Guid'Asso

• • Le RNMA est membre du comité de pilotage national de Guid'Asso et accompagne son déploiement sur les territoires.
• • Les questions posées par les observatoires (structuration de la vie associative, besoins, articulation des appuis) sont jugées "très connexes" à la structuration de cette politique publique.
• • L'articulation se fait de manière variable selon les territoires, mais il est noté un développement d'observatoires régionaux (ex: Hauts-de-France) qui permettent une approche différente.

5.2. Relations avec les Collectivités et la Charte des Engagements Réciproques

• • Le RNMA et ses membres connaissent et travaillent sur la déclinaison de la Charte des engagements réciproques entre l'État, les associations et les collectivités.
• • Il est souligné que l'enjeu réside moins dans le document lui-même que dans le processus de co-construction.
• • La mise en place d'une telle charte peut être une des conséquences concrètes d'une démarche d'observation, en réponse aux défis identifiés.

5.3. Échelle d'Action et Compétences * • L'observation se fait souvent à l'échelle d'une commune ou d'une communauté de communes. * • Une difficulté est identifiée à l'échelle des communautés de communes : la "vie associative" reste souvent une compétence communale, ce qui peut limiter la capacité des intercommunalités à porter de tels projets. * • Cependant, lorsque le portage est associatif (par une Maison des Associations), le bassin de vie ou la communauté de communes est plus régulièrement l'échelle privilégiée.

6. Considérations Pratiques

• • Coût de la démarche : Le coût varie en fonction de la taille du territoire, mais se situe généralement entre 8 000 et 12 000 €. Ce montant est ajustable en fonction du niveau d'analyse et de transfert de compétences souhaité.
• • Format des formations : Elles sont privilégiées en présentiel pour faciliter les échanges et la connaissance mutuelle.

Detailed Summary

1. You own your data, in spite of the cloud. <br /> Section summary: <br /> Local-fist software tries to solve the problem of ownership, agency and data lock-in present in cloud-based software, without compromising cross-collaboration and improving user control.

Section breakdown<br /> §1: SaaS<br /> Pros: Easy sync across devices, real-time collab Cons: loss of ownership and agency; loss of data is software is lost.

§2: Local-fist software<br /> - Enables collaboration & ownership - Offline cross-collaboration - Improved security, privacy, long-term preservation & user control of data

§3 & §4: Article Methodology<br /> - Survey of existing storage & sharing approaches and their trade-offs - Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), natively multi-user - Analysis of challenges of the data model as implemented at Ink & Switch - Analysis of CRDT viability, UI - Suggestion of next steps

2. Motivation: collaboration and ownership<br /> Section summary: <br /> The argument for cross-device, real-time collab PLUS personal ownership

Section breakdown<br /> §1: Examples of online collabs<br /> §2: SaaS increasingly critical, data increasingly valuable<br /> §3: There are cons<br /> §4: Deep emotional attachment to your data brings feeling of ownership, especially for creative expression<br /> §5: SaaS require access to 3rd party server, limitation on what can be done. Cloud provider owns the data.<br /> §6: SaaS: no service, no data. If service is shut down, you might manage to export data, but you may not be able to run your copy of the software.<br /> §7: Old-fashioned apps were local-disk based (IDEs, git, CAD). You can archive, backup, access or do whatever with the data without 3rd party approval.<br /> §8: Can we have collaboration AND ownership?<br /> §9: Desire: cross-device, real-time collab PLUS personal ownership

3. Seven ideals for local-first software<br /> Section breakdown<br /> §1: Belief: data ownership & real-time collab are compatible<br /> §2: Local-first software local storage & local networks are primary, server secondary<br /> §3: SaaS: In the server, or it didn't happen. Local-first: local is authoritative, servers are for cross-device.

3.1.1 No spinners<br /> SaaS feels slower because if requires round-trip to a server for data modification and some lookups. Lo-Fi doesn't have dependency on server, data sync happens on the background. This is no guarantee of fast software, but there's a potential for near-instant response.<br /> 3.1.2 Data not trapped on one device <br /> Data sync will be discussed in another section. Server works as off-site backup. The issue of conflict will also be discussed later.<br /> 3.1.3 The network is optional<br /> It's difficult to retrofit offline support to SaaS. Lo-Fi allows CRUD offline and data sync might not require the Internet: Bluetooth/local Wi-fi could be enough.<br /> 3.1.4 Seamless collabs<br /> Conflicts can be tricky for complex file formats. Google Docs became de facto standard. This is the biggest challenge for Lo-Fi, but is believed to be possible. It's also expected that Lo-Fi supports multiple collab.

paraphrase - history of labor - Michel gives a nice succinct summary of the broad strokes of the history of labor over the last few millennia: - Civilizations have begun as slave-based societies first - Then when the Christian revolution occurred after the fall of the Roman Empire, "Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)" was adopted to transform work into a spiritually meaningful endeavor - Then in the 16th century, this philosophy was replaced by turning labor into a commodity, where it has remained ever since, - resulting in a world where 85% of those surveyed say they are not engaged with their job

// - COMMENTS - This is a very insightful interview with Michel that provides a lot of historical contexts for the many challenges faced by contemporary society - Within these historical contexts, we can glimpse how today's problems are part of a repeating pattern, albeit with many new elements that have emerged - He offers the possibility of a commons approach of mutualization, - in particular cosmolocalism - as a powerful leverage point to evolve a future wellbeing civilization - Contexualizing modernity in the alternate growth and downfall periods of human civilizations, he points out how we are in a transition period in which the current system is fraying - He outlines the many seed forms that exist now which, just like those that appeared in past cycles of downfall, combined to emerge the next growth cycle - crypto and blockchain - which can provide a global way of coordinating planetary health - the internet in general, which can bring mutualization of knowledge for locailzed production - There are some strong exemplars of promising seed forms but to scale, - the cosmo processes have to integrate with - local, place-anchored processes such as permacutlure and bioregion-based regeneration.

quote - constructing Cosmo local as a counter power to the current dominating power of trans-national finance - (see below) - The idea here is a potential ‘entanglement’ between the local and the translocal level, - which creates new levels of strength and capacity for the local. · Hence, faced with the potential hostility of nation-states that are under the influence of extractive forces of trans-national finance, - the local is no longer just the local, but - a local that is also cosmo-local, and - can mobilize counter-power. - Faced with the potential hostility of nation-states - that are under the influence of extractive forces of trans-national finance, - the local is no longer just the local, - but a local that is also cosmo-local, and - can mobilize counter-power.

// This is a very important observation Local communities by themselves don't have the capacity to stand up against trans-national power, but uniting together gives local communities this capacity and a fighting chance

• A large network of people accessing an open knowledge commons increases the local information capacity of a community,
  • compensating for the specific knowledge deficits of a community and enabling projects to co-create healthy, local,autonomous wellbeing culture and economy.

Much of the available resources have been written in English and then back-translated, which is a problem; I need to find a way to ensure that's not a problem when doing my master's. I will need linguistic experts in each language. Where do I find these unicorns?

I need to make contact and ask how it's going because I don't know if the study has been ended and if the subsequent studies have been published. Ask Bianca.

This is an app for multilingual language learning. Mine will focus on the mother tongue.

I tried it out for a bit and found the audio very repetitive, which could be problematic. Minecraft had such good audio - C14 or C11? It is fantastically immersive, and the popularity of the game and audio is irrefutable if you look at longevity (games come and go often, and very few manage to stick and have a continuous impact, Minecraft is a good example of an exception to this, alongside other well adjusted and designed games.

I had fun learning the clicks in isiXhoso - something I want to practice, but the audio became too much as i hit the image repeatedly.

There's room for more resources. This application does not speak to all children, and no one application ever will, hence the need for many across a broad range of cultures and diversities.

Is this the tablet Bianca mentioned? It sounds great but an entire tablet? I want to reach consumers on already owned devices. Edit no it's the one who expanded - they just launched english lit en are still launching afrikaans this year.

Variety is the spice of life. I don't think there is room for only one application, personally I wouldn't have enjoyed those graphics as a child, not all children like the same things and learn the same way, so to address that we would need many different applications carering to different tastes.

Most reviews don't seem positive and this is not a free app an dthey have a lot of complaints about the quality

• What does contributing to a common mean?

• Take permaculture as an example:

  • you stand with your feet in the mud, a metaphor for reconnecting with the land and the earth, without whose cultivation no one can survive.
  • The permaculturists’ heart is in their local community, but
    • their brain and
    • the other part of their heart
  • are in the commons of global permaculture.
  • They have extended their identity beyond the local,
    • acquiring a trans-local and trans-national identity.
  • They haven’t done so through an alienating concept of corporate globalisation,
    • like an uprooted elite individual,
  • but through deep participation in a true constructive community,
    • which is helping to solve the metacrisis that alienates most of us.
• Cosmolocalism is synonymous with deep-rooted but extremely rapid global innovation

• question: frameworks for community projects

  • If our interest is to attempt to create a global collective action campaign to address our existential polycrisis, which includes the climate crisis, then how do we mobilize at the community level in a meaningful way?

  • I suggest that this must be a cosmolocal effort. Why? Knowledge sharing across all the communities will accelerate the transition of any participating local community.

  • This means that we cannot rely on citizens living in small communities to construct an effective coordination framework for rapid de-escalation of the polycrisis. The capacity does not exist within small communities to build such a complex system. The system can be more effectively built before the collective action campaign is started by a virtual community of experts and ready for trial with pilot communities.
  • To meet this enormous challenge, it cannot be done in an adhoc way. At this point in time, many people in many communities all around the globe know of the existential crisis we face, but if we look at the annual carbon emissions, none of the existing community efforts has made a difference in their continuing escalation.
  • The knowledge required to synchronize millions of communities to have a unified wartime-scale collective action mobilization to reach decarbonization goals that the mainstream approach has not even made a dent in will be a complex problem.
  • In other words, what is proposed is a partnership.
  • Since we are faced with global commons problems that pose existential threats if not mitigated in 5 to 8 years, the scope of the problem is enormous.
  • Super wicked problems require unprecedented levels of collaboration at every level.
  • The downscaling of global planetary boundaries and doughnut economics seems the most logical way to think global, act local.

  • Building such a collaboration system requires expert knowledge. Once built, however, it requires testing in pilot communities. This is where a partnership can take place

        • SRG has long entertained a collaborative open science project for grassroots polycrisis / climate crisis education - to measure and validate latest climate departure dates

        • This would be a synergistic project between SRG, LCE, SoNeC, My Climate Risk hubs, ICICLE and U of Hawaii
        • Our community frameworks need to go BEYOND simply adaptation though, which is what "My Climate Risk" focuses exclusively on. We need to also engage equally in climate mitigation.

  • Both democrats and conservatives are captured by fossil fuel lobbyist interests
  • A new third political party that does not take money from special interests is required

  • Given the short timescale, the earliest we can achieve this is 2028 in the US Election cycle

Eine Studie der World Weather attribution hat ergeben, dass die Hitzewelle in Indien im April durch die globale Erhitzung um 30% wahrscheinlicher geworden ist. Wenn sich die Erhitzung fortsetzt werden große Teile Indiens, wie eine weitere neulich veröffentlichte Studie ergibt, für Menschen potenziell unbewohnbar werden.

The sheer quantity exceeds the possibilities of book publication, the complex, multidimensional structure of a networked information base cannot be reproduced in print, and finally the dynamic of a constantly growing and constantly correcting material does not fit into the rigid rhythm of book production, in which each expanded and corrected new edition is associated with an incalculable amount of effort. A book publication could only offer a snapshot of such a database, reduced to a specific perspective. This too can be very useful from time to time, but it does not solve the problem of publishing the entire material.

While the writing criticism of "dumping out one's zettelkasten" into a paper, journal article, chapter, book, etc. has been reasonably frequent in the 20th century, often as a means of attempting to create a linear book-bound context in a local neighborhood of ideas, are there other more complex networks of ideas which we're not communicating because they don't neatly fit into linear narrative forms? Is it possible that there is a non-linear form(s) based on network theory in which more complex ideas ought to better be embedded for understanding?

Some of Niklas Luhmann's writing may show some of this complexity and local or even regional circularity, but perhaps it's a necessary means of communication to get these ideas across as they can't be placed into linear forms.

One can analogize this to Lie groups and algebras in which our reading and thinking experiences are limited only to local regions which appear on smaller scales to be Euclidean, when, in fact, looking at larger portions of the region become dramatically non-Euclidean. How are we to appropriately relate these more complex ideas?

What are the second and third order effects of this phenomenon?

An example of this sort of non-linear examination can be seen in attempting to translate the complexity inherent in the Wb (Wörterbuch der ägyptischen Sprache) into a simple, linear dictionary of the Egyptian language. While the simplicity can be handy on one level, the complexity of transforming the entirety of the complexity of the network of potential meanings is tremendously difficult.

I have thought long about the same issue and beyond. The triple (wiki, Hypothesis, donations) could be a working way to search for OER, form a social group processing them, and optionally support the creators.

I imagine that as follows: a person wants to learn about X. They can head to the wiki site about X and look into its Hypothesis annotations, where relevant OER with their preferred donation method can be linked. Also, study groups interested in the respective resource or topic can list virtual or live meetups there. The date of the meetups could be listed in a format that Hypothesis could search and display on a calendar.

Wiki is integral as it categorizes knowledge, is comprehensive, and strives to address biases. Hypothesis stitches websites together for the benefit of the site owners and the collective wisdom that emerges from the discussions. Donations support the creators so they can dedicate their time to creating high-quality resources.

As is common in the tradition of the zettelkasten, Goutor advises "that each note-card should contain only one item of information, whether a quotation, a summary, or anything else". (p28) He ascribes this requirement to his earlier need for clarity. (cross reference: https://hypothes.is/a/SfWFwENIEe2KfGMbR5n7Qg)

He indicates that while it may seem wasteful to have only one item on each card that the savings in time, efficiency in handling, classification, and retrieval will more than compensate for the small waste.

This sort of small local waste being compensated for by a larger global savings and efficiency can be seen in the design of the shipping container industry as discussed in Mark Levinson's The Box (Princeton University Press, 2008). Was this the exact sort of efficiency mentioned by Ahrens'? (Compare at https://hypothes.is/a/t4i32IXoEeyF2n9jQxu6BA)

Banks situate themselves along the paths that people travel...they are not destinations in and of themselves. So placement of branches are guided by modes of transportation: easy car access when cars at the main mode of transport; near transit stops when public transportation is the main mode.
