Popular education, an old recipe for the future?
Moderator: Nora Hamadi
With Hélène Balazard, Political Science researcher, and Robin Renucci, actor, comedian, director, director of Théâtre de La Criée.
With the participation of Caroline Chenu, in charge of research and collections at Mucem,
Do we need to rethink our educational models to encourage citizenship and collective action?
Popular education, which promotes learning by doing and experimentation, is perhaps a model that is still proving its worth, and one that is being seized upon by a younger generation keen to embrace new initiatives. How can we work towards real individual emancipation?
To live well together, do we need to do things together again?
