Forum des conversations qui comptent : quels sont mes rêves de ville ?

Two half-days open to all, to discuss the issues that matter most to us and our dreams for the city.

Our cities are changing. So are the ways we live, work, travel and meet in them. To talk about this together, we are organising a "Forum of conversations that count: what are my dreams for the city?" at La Fabrique - Rêves de ville, led by the Art of Hosting (AOH) collective.

Over the course of two days, 60 participants from a wide range of backgrounds - architects, urban planners, people involved in the living environment, local professionals, eco-delegates from secondary schools and local residents - are invited to meet in a different way, through open and participative conversation formats.
Each day begins with a group session during which participants propose the topics they would like to explore, in relation to the theme "What are my dreams for the city" and what drives them.

What happens on the day?

Based on these suggestions, the day's agenda is drawn up on the spot, in a simple and collective way. The conversations then take place in small groups, in successive slots, allowing everyone to take part in the subjects that most appeal to them.

So there is no fixed programme in advance: it is the people present who give shape to the day, accompanied by the facilitation team, in a clear, secure and caring framework.

The two days are independent of each other. You can take part on the Friday only, on the Saturday only or on both days.

It is imperative to take part from 1 p.m. until the end of the event to fully enjoy the experience and avoid disrupting the proceedings. Thank you for being on time.

Why come to this forum?

- To take the time to meet people you don't usually meet and listen to points of view that are different from your own.
- To experience a simple yet demanding form of dialogue, where you can talk about what really matters, without having to convince anyone or take sides.
- To experience a different way of being together, based on listening, curiosity and respect.
- To let ideas, questions and insights emerge in the course of the conversations, and to leave nourished, inspired, sometimes moved... often connected.

No prior expertise is necessary. All that counts is the desire to contribute to a conversation that connects.
