Conference “2040, j’y vais ! “with Olivier Hamant

Because the collective narrative of performance is producing global burnout, Olivier Hamant proposes to grow robustness in this world that has become fluctuating!

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.
