Festival des solidarités

As it does every year, the community centre is coordinating the organisation of the festival in the Arnay-Liernais area in partnership with several local organisations (Secours Catholique, Mission Locale, ALJC, Petits Frères des Pauvres, Restos du Coeur, etc.).

A range of events and charitable initiatives will be on offer throughout the festival:

- PERFORMANCE: “Elles de la Forêt” on Friday 13 November at 6.30 pm. Mapie CABURET, a storyteller, accompanied by Stann DUGUET and Pascale BERTHOMIER, cellists, shares the story of Suzy-Ann, a young teenager living in 2226 in the ‘world to come’. By examining the future of humanity through the lens of environmental challenges and intercultural understanding, this performance conveys a message of hope, guiding us towards a desirable future to the sound of a ‘forest of cellos’. Suitable for ages 10 and over.

- UPPAL talk on Friday 27 November: Virginie Cazal, chair of the Autism’ez-vous association, will speak to us about disability, solidarity and inclusion in our society. The talk will be followed by a discussion among participants.

- Food collection on Saturday 28 November, in aid of the Restos du Cœur. Young people from the local youth employment scheme will be on hand all day at the three supermarkets in Arnay-le-Duc.
