1 Theme: Renewing Hope

For the first time and in a very limited time, we are witnessing the convergence of economic, social, health, ecological and geostrategic crises. Faced with this unprecedented situation, which is so difficult to grasp, and faced with the temptation to give in to pessimism and resignation, we must act and create the conditions for a way out of the crisis. To do this, we need to recreate hope.

The innovative logic of these 23rd Meetings is based on two pillars: that of hope in the face of uncertainty (Friday) and that of choices informed by debates and controversies (Saturday). To make these rebounds a reality, fifteen sessions held on Sunday will make it possible to record the major choices of these Meetings.
