3. La FCE prendra les arrangements de voyage à destination du pays partenaire conformément aux lignes directrices établies par les fidéicommissaires du Fonds en fiducie de la FCE, qui prévoient ce qui suit : « QUE des efforts soient faits pour choisir les tarifs aériens les moins chers possible pour les voyages qui sont effectués dans le cadre du PO et qui sont conformes aux objectifs de ce programme. » Par conséquent, la FCE choisira l’itinéraire le plus direct et le plus économique, et achètera, autant que possible, des billets au tarif excursion, aux conditions qui s’appliquent à ces billets.

4. Participer au PO exige un engagement de tous les instants, aussi bien en salle de classe qu’à l’extérieur dans le pays d’accueil. Outre de longues journées d’enseignement, vous devrez participer à des activités prévues par l’organisation partenaire, notamment des activités sociales et des réunions avec des représentantes et représentants officiels.

5. Les amis et les membres de la famille ne peuvent pas accompagner les participantes et participants du PO, ni pendant le stage d’orientation ni pendant l’affectation outre-mer.

6. Les participantes et participants doivent accepter qu’un projet puisse être annulé à la dernière minute en raison de circonstances imprévues. Advenant l’annulation d’un projet, la FCE ne peut garantir le placement au sein d’une autre équipe.

Nous les incitons également à rédiger des articles au sujet de leur expérience et à les faire paraître dans des publications lorsque cela est possible.

10. Le Projet outre-mer envoie des équipes en Afrique, dans les Caraïbes et parfois ailleurs. Les participantes et participants doivent être prêts à accepter une affectation à n’importe quelendroit où un programme de la FCE est offert.

11. La FCE n’est habituellement pas en mesure de confirmer les dates des affectations avant la formation des équipes. Les affectations ont généralement lieu en juillet, mais l’engagement envers le PO commence en janvier pour les chefs d’équipe et en février pour les autres participantes et participants.

12. Certaines destinations exigent un visa d’entrée. Le cas échéant, les participantes et participants peuvent être tenus de faire parvenir un passeport valide à l’agence de voyage désignée dès le mois de mai. Les passeports seront rendus à leur titulaire en juillet, àOttawa, avant le départ à destination du pays d’affectation.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WAIVERPlease complete the English OR French Acknowledgement

I, ________________________, acknowledge that international travel entails being exposed to a variety of risks and hazards depending on the country travelled to. I am aware that when traveling to other countries I may be exposed to contracting local illnesses, diseases or parasites that are rare or not present in Canada and that the available medical care may also be very different than in Canada.

Other countries may have markedly different physical climates, cultures, social conditions, legal systems and political situations than Canada’s. I am aware that traveling to other countries may mean that I will be at greater risk of being the victim of violence, injury or death due to acts of crime, war, civil conflict or terrorism. I am also aware that by traveling to other countries I may be targeted, harassed, subjected to violence or subject to legal proceedings based on my race, religion, political views, sexual orientation, ethnic origin or other personal qualities or characteristics which do not create similar risks in Canada.

I have made my decision to travel in this program based on my own knowledge and evaluation of these risks. I have not relied on any information or advice from the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) for that decision. I acknowledge that it is and will remain my responsibility to inform myself of any risks associated with international travel.

I waive the right to advance any claim or action against the ATA or any of its agents, employees or officers for or by reason of any injury, damage or loss I may suffer during my time abroad in this program, even if that loss is caused or contributed to by the negligent act or omission of the ATA or any of its agents, employees or officers. I further undertake to indemnify, save and hold harmless and defend the ATA and any of its employees or officers with respect to any such claim or action.

Participants are expected to research the countries they intend to travel to, to consult with their general physician with respect to international travel and to consult the Government of Canada Travel Advisory service at http://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories. Participants are also advised to ask their insurance broker about forms of coverage including life insurance, disability insurance, medical insurance, kidnap and ransom insurance and any other forms of coverage available to help deal with the risks of international travel.

ATTESTATION DE RECONNAISSANCE ET DE RENONCIATION

Je soussigné ou Je soussignée, ________________________________, comprends et accepte que les voyages à l’étranger comportent divers risques et dangers selon le pays visité; que je suis conscient ou consciente qu’en voyageant à l’étranger, je m’expose à des maladies ou à des parasites rares ou non présents au Canada, et que les installations et services médicaux dans le pays d’affectation pourraient ne pas être de la même qualité ou aussi facilement accessibles qu’au Canada;

Je comprends et accepte que les autres pays peuvent présenter un climat, une culture, des conditions sociales, un système judiciaire et une situation politique radicalement différents du Canada; que je suis conscient ou consciente qu’en voyageant à l’étranger, je m’expose à un risque accru d’être victime de violence, de subir des blessures ou de trouver la mort en raison d’actes criminels ou terroristes, d’une guerre ou d’un conflit civil; que je suis également conscient ou consciente qu’en voyageant à l’étranger, je peux être pris pour cible, victime de harcèlement ou de violence, ou faire l’objet d’actions en justice en raison de ma race, de ma religion, de mes opinions politiques, de mon orientation sexuelle, de mon origine ethnique ou d’autres caractéristiques personnelles qui ne posent pas de tels risques au Canada;

Je reconnais que ma décision de voyager dans le cadre de ce programme se fonde sur ma propre connaissance et évaluation des risques. Je ne me suis fié ou fiée à aucun renseignement ou conseil de l’Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) pour prendre ma décision. Je reconnais que la responsabilité de m’informer des risques associés aux voyages à l’étranger me revient, maintenant et à l’avenir;

Je comprends que l’ATA n’assume aucune responsabilité envers moi en ce qui a trait à toute réclamation, y compris, mais sans s’y limiter, aux réclamations pour perte, dommages ou blessure, tenant à mon séjour à l’étranger dans le cadre de ma participation à ce programme. Par conséquent, je m’engage à garantir, à défendre, à protéger et à dégager de toute responsabilité l’ATA, ses agents ou les membres de sa haute direction et de son personnel concernant toute réclamation que je pourrais avoir, y compris les pertes, les blessures ou les dommages causés, entièrement ou en partie, par un acte de négligence ou une omission de la part de l’ATA, ses agents ou les membres de sa haute direction et de son personnel.

Il est attendu que les participants se renseigneront au préalable sur les pays qu’ils ont l’intention de visiter, qu’ils consulteront leur médecin généraliste relativement aux voyages à l’étranger, et qu’ils consulteront la page du service Conseils aux voyageurs et avertissements (https://voyage.gc.ca/voyager/avertissements). Il est également conseillé aux participants de s’informer, auprès de leur courtier d’assurance, au sujet des formes de protection offertes, y compris l’assurance vie, l’assurance invalidité, l’assurance médicale, l’assurance contre les enlèvements et les demandes de rançon, et toute autre forme de protection pouvant pallier les risques liés aux voyages à l’étranger.
