Rebuilding society?
Trials of the Century - season 4
Moderated by Thomas Legrand
With Vincent Tiberj, sociologist and Quitterie de Villepin, politician.
With the participation of Mireille Jacotin, Head Curator of Heritage, in charge of the Public Life Department at Mucem.
Urban-rural divide, social inequalities, questions of identity, generational divide… are our societies so irrevocably divided and archipelagic that citizens no longer live side by side, but face to face, with no common concerns? Between long-term trends and the polarization of public debates, how about taking stock of the reality of social relations?

Quitterie de Villepin
For the past 20 years, Quitterie de Villepin has been working with associations, citizens’ groups and students on issues of empowerment, citizenship and democracy, and the place of citizens in political life and in shaping the decisions that affect them. It initiates democratic experiments, on the scale of its neighborhood or on the French territory, which try to repair the link to politics, to take care of democracy, following the example of thousands of initiatives in France and elsewhere, born these last 10 years, in response to the collapse of representative democracies.
