2040, I’m going!” conference with Cyril Dion

In January 2025, we welcomed writer and director Cyril Dion to the Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne. Our guests, City Councillor Natacha Litzistorf and Katia Delay, Director of the Maison du récit in Lausanne, brought a local perspective.

The “2040, j’y vais!” conferences are interactive and co-organized by Hub des possibles, the booksellers Payotbooksellers, the Vidy-Lausanne and the Alumnil network.

The “2040, j’y vais!” conferences help to create spaces for dialogue and encounters between authors and the general public, in order to cultivate a posture of lucid optimism.

The aim is to enable citizens and readers to :

to better understand today’s challenges
connect with their emotions and open up their imaginations
explore possible futures and be inspired by stories that reinforce hope and stimulate action.

Lucid optimism: the key to 2026?

At the Hub of Possibilities, in 2026, we invite you to open your eyes to everything that’s emerging. To everything that nurtures dialogue, democracy, the rule of law, the regenerative economy and innovation for the common good. We invite you to pay more attention to your sphere of influence, and to take concrete, step-by-step steps towards building tomorrow’s world. For even if those who practice violence, contempt for others and predation take center stage, they do not have a monopoly on imagination and action.

So what is shared governance? Is it an alternative? In this episode of the podcast “2040 j’y vais!”, we take you inside Qoqa, a company that has switched to shared governance. You’ll also meet Ludovic Gaudard, from la fabrique de l’agilité.
