In a world where relations of domination are accentuating, resources are dwindling, relationships are hardening, issues are becoming more complex, and yet interdependence is increasing, we advocate <\/span>cultural mediation<\/b> for the emergence of new forms of <\/span>cooperation<\/b> and <\/span>co-construct<\/b> a<\/strong> more just and peaceful society. <\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

We use the power of storytelling and art<\/strong> to question our representations and make the complex issues of our society more accessible<\/strong>, and we (co-)create and adapt (cultural) mediation approaches to change perspective, nurture dialogue and awaken our individual and collective creativity<\/strong> to meet today’s economic and environmental challenges.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Author and photographer, Brieuc has developed his documentary and artistic approach alongside his career as a social impact management expert in the DRC and other African countries. In his work, he seeks to question stereotypical representations and highlight initiatives that place people and nature at the heart of their approach. In R\u00e9publique D\u00e9mocratique du Cobalt, a documentary and photographic account presented as an exhibition and conference, he plunges the reader into the heart of mining issues and their paradoxes. Today, he is exploring other artistic avenues, such as theater, to awaken a sense of global citizenship and stimulate the power to act. <\/p>\n

Seduced by slam, by the place it gives to vulnerability and honesty, Farah finds in it an unsuspected therapy, and finds her place both on stage and behind the scenes, as a scriptwriter. A lover of words and singularly told stories, her texts are introspective but tackle universal themes such as self-love, motherhood and fear. By recounting discomfort, awkwardness and joy, she sets out to discover her own identity and invites anyone who will listen to join her on her journey. <\/p>\n
