All of Geneva in one app
Parties, concerts, exhibitions and shows, tonight and all week, with a reminder before what you don't want to miss.
Open in the appWhat if growing up didn't have to mean learning to conform, to stay silent, or to give up on yourself? From childhood onwards, we organize power relationships based on age: adults decide, interpret, and often speak in place of children, claiming to act for "their own good".

From childhood onwards, we organize power relationships based on age: adults decide, interpret, and often speak in place of children, claiming to act for "their own good". As part of the exhibition The future, what is it at MEG, this round table will question how we educate, listen, and transmit. How do we set boundaries without humiliating or controlling? How do we recognize children and teens as complete persons, capable of thinking, of consenting, of participating, and of transforming our societies? Can we truly make vulnerability the starting point of a relationship based on care, trust, and reciprocity? Guests: Mai Lan Chapiron (FR), artist, author, composer and illustrator Samah Karaki (FR/LB), neuroscientist and founder of the Social Brain Institute (SBI) Anouck Hoyois (CH), cultural and scientific mediator, and project lead at MEG. She is co-curator of the exhibition The future, what is it? Moderation: Victoire Tuaillon (FR), author and journalist
