Faced with the global crisis in which neo-liberalism and globalization's devastating consequences have immersed Tunisian society in recent decades, the Association Perspectives "El Amel Ettounsi" organizes Friday 10, Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 of March at L'Art Rue, a Spring University on the theme of «Living together: From idea to alternative experiences».
The aim is to create a space for encounters to discuss the idea of “collective living” and the experiences that were initiated in Tunisia in this spirit. Through conversation circles, we seek to stimulate debate between philosophers, farmers, men and women of theatre and cinema around pioneering experiences that will shed light on the idea of living collectively and try to construct meaningful dialogue.
In addition to conversation circles, there will be other activities such as musical shows, film debates, an open mic as well as a collective photo exhibition.
