Description

Debates, performances, shows, literary meetings, autograph sessions and workshops will set the tone for this sixth edition of the Night of Ideas, which will explore the theme Power to Act – In search of a new horizon of universality.

From 6pm to midnight, writers, poets, dancers, scientists, journalists, musicians, illustrators and philosophers will debate and act on key issues.

How can we live together in an increasingly segmented and pluralised world? What can we do to face or halt the effects of climate change and reconnect with the living world? How can we effectively combat social and cultural inequalities so that we all have the full right to citizenship?

Restoring and reinventing the power to act collectively to open up a new, broader horizon of universality at a crucial moment in the history of humanity and the planet: this is the ambition of the Night of Ideas.
