Presentation

Since its foundation in 2019, Making Waves has been committed to amplifying the voices of youth, with their questions, doubts, and aspirations. A heterogeneous and complex youth, graplling with the disorders of the world, full of expectations and contradictions. We will place our microphones in the heart of the cloître Saint-Louis every day to allow young adults to question the world and put their words on what happens to all of us, transforms us, invigorates us, or sets us on fire.

So we thought we were born at the right time

Today, social networks are the main source of information for a large proportion of the population, particularly young people. By limiting or directing access to certain information, algorithms are a powerful lever of influence and control. In what way is this digital manufacture of opinion a threat to democracy?
