As democracies falter, how can we preserve them and give them new momentum?
A session moderated by Nora Hamadi.
In a world where attacks on democratic regimes are on the rise, the defenses that had seemed to protect democracy until now have appeared to be weakened. Authoritarian or illiberal regimes, institutions and the rule of law under siege, control over the media: has democracy run out of steam?
Caught between a loss of trust and resistance, this gathering explores the possibilities of rethinking this shared heritage.
Nora Hamadi, journalist
Nora Hamadi is a journalist. Since July 2026 on France Inter, she has been taking us on a journey through “Dans la place”—those everyday places that are home to our practices and habits and tell the story of how they’ve evolved. Dog parks, nail salons, barbershops, gyms, shopping malls… delving into their essence is like looking in a mirror at who we are, both as individuals and as a community.
In 2025–2026, she presented the news roundup on France Inter’s morning show. Prior to that, Nora Hamadi was a producer at France Culture and, since September 2024, had been hosting the program *Douce France*, which sought to explore and engage with France in all its complexity, diversity, and nuances, while staying closely connected to its citizens. Before that, she had been hosting *Sous les radars* since 2021, bringing to light topics overlooked in political debate yet central to citizens’ concerns.
In addition, she is the editor-in-chief of *Fumigène, littérature de rue*, a magazine dedicated to current events as seen from the perspective of working-class neighborhoods, and she leads numerous community-based media and information literacy workshops in schools, social centers, and community centers. She chairs the Collectif ŒIL and ZEP (Zone d’expression prioritaire), two organizations committed to bringing the voices and stories of the “invisible” into the public sphere.
Long a familiar face on Arte and Public Sénat, she has also directed in-depth reports and documentaries.
In September 2025, she published *La Maison des Rêves*, a history of the French suburbs, with Flammarion.

Le Procès du siècle, délibérations citoyennes !
Comment parler des bouleversements récents qui touchent nos vies, nos sociétés, notre environnement ? Que disent-ils de notre rapport au temps et à l’espace ? Comment nous situons-nous aujourd’hui au cœur du monde et du vivant ? Quelles mutations, quelles révolutions sont à espérer ou à craindre ?
Le Procès du siècle appelle à la barre plaignants, accusés, témoins et avocats. Il en appelle avant tout à ses jurés, les citoyens.
