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.

Grief, bangs, silence

Can we really put ourselves in another person's shoes? Is empathy only possible with fellow human beings, in whom we recognise aspects of our own experience or whom we identify as members of our community? This programme looks at our selective empathies.
