What if growing up didn't have to mean learning to conform, stay silent or abandon yourself? From childhood, we organize power dynamics based on age: adults decide, interpret and often speak on behalf of children, claiming to act in their "best interest". As part of the exhibition The future, what is it at the MEG, this round table will question our ways of educating, listening and passing on knowledge. How do we set boundaries without humiliating or controlling? How do we recognize children and teenagers as full-fledged people, capable of thinking, consenting, participating and transforming our societies? Can we truly make vulnerability the starting point for a relationship founded on care, trust and reciprocity? Speakers: - Mai Lan Chapiron (FR) is an artist, author, composer and illustrator.

She creates new tools and founded the Association Mille Miettes, dedicated to child protection through prevention, particularly in schools. - Samah Karaki (FR/LB) is a neuroscientist and founder of the Social Brain Institute (SBI), an NGO based in Geneva that seeks to advance society by drawing on cognitive science.
