Les Ateliers de l\u2019Universel<\/a>\u201d is an initiative launched by partners and actors working in relation to the \u201cExpoFrance\u201d association, following the end of France\u2019s candidacy project for the \u201c2025 World Exhibition\u201d, by the government in 2018. The aim is to open debates on the \u2018values of universality\u2019 and make proposals about the mobilization of the major universal and contemporary issues to reinvent a model of World Expo, that can be adapted to the values and challenges of the contemporary world.<\/p>\n\u201cFinancial crises, migratory tensions, the disruption of the environment, the race for technology or radicalization of ideologies must now encourage us, more than ever, to re-examine the values and issues that we share. It is imperative for the world, if we do not want it to retract or lose its sense of diversity which underlies its richness\u201d,
Jean-Christophe FROMANTIN
President of Ateliers de l\u2019Universel<\/p>\n
One goal: to put the Universal back into public debate<\/strong><\/p>\nIn this context, it is time to put forth the values of audacity, sharing, of universality and innovation. There are challenges on the ecological, migratory, technological, and urban levels: the world thinks today as a whole: \u201cThink Global but Act Local\u201d. We often share the same products, the same services, the same brands, the same points. Our societies are standardized, and the same is so of our problems and challenges.<\/p>\n
To share and re-share like-minded ideals, the prompting of essential questions about issues for our future, and to open debates which allow every person to contribute to it, are what \u201cLes Atelier de l\u2019Universel\u201d (Workshops of the Universal) puts into play.<\/p>\n
A series of concrete actions led by \u201cLes Ateliers de l\u2019Universel\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nThe association are revolving around four components:<\/p>\n
\n- An online exchange platform \u201clesateliersdeluniversel.org\u201d whereby many personalities and anonymous people may speak on the notion of the universal;<\/li>\n
- A series of events, meetings and round table discussions organized in several countries, to discuss values and universal issues and to create propositions for action;<\/li>\n
- A major international event called \u201cUniversal\u201d to be held in Paris in 2019, at the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Homme, which will bring together personalities and universes from four corners of the Earth, for the \u2018imperativeness\u2019 of universality, and forms of possible mobilization;<\/li>\n
- Finally, a collection of writings made from and about the series of debates, and a \u2018call for the universal\u2019\u2026 giving a solution to this project, widely distributed at the end of 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
