Le Grand Déjeuner is a festive and gourmet event that honors Afro-descended chefs through a lunch with authentic flavors. Beyond gastronomy, the day will be punctuated by cultural activities: songs, dances and artistic performances celebrating the richness of Afro-descendant cultures. A moment of sharing, discovery and conviviality not to be missed.
Storytime invites young and old to open the borders of the world through an imaginary and cultural journey out of time. Through stories from elsewhere, this event invites you to discover the history of several peoples, their rich traditions, their ancestral wisdom and legends that are sometimes similar to myths. Each story becomes an open door to multiple cultures, transmitted through voice, emotion and the imaginary.
Thought as a moment of sharing and transmission, Storytime combines lively narration, soundscapes and sometimes music or gestures to captivate the audience. It is an invitation to dream, learn, and travel without leaving your seat, while celebrating cultural diversity and the power of stories that connect people across time.

Stand up
For its 5th edition, Black and Proud invites us to stand up, together in all our diversity to not only educate but raise awareness about the realities that a large number of black people around the world are still experiencing.
Black and Proud calls on us to unity, solidarity and collective awareness. It is an invitation to celebrate the richness of Black cultures, while also shedding light on the ongoing challenges that many Black communities around the world face. Together, in all our diversity, let's stand up to deconstruct stereotypes, break silences, and make voices that are too often ignored resonate. More than a celebration, it is an act of commitment: educating, raising awareness and acting for a more equitable and inclusive future.
