As part of the first edition of the Night of Ideas in China, the Consulate General of France in Chengdu is organizing two meetings for the general public, around French and Chinese experts who think about the contemporary world.

The first meeting will focus on philosophy and its reception by young people: "Philo Ado", around the publication in China of the 10 titles of the philosophy collection dedicated to 14-19 year olds, published in France by Rue de l'échiquier and in translation in China by the Chinese publisher Duku.

The second meeting, "Towards a globalization of proximity? "will raise the question of the major trends and adaptations at work in the wake of a global crisis.

The meetings will take place in a hybrid format, with French or Chinese speakers physically present and remote speakers.

In Chengdu, the Night of Ideas will be held at the Hotel W, partner of the event. In Kunming, the Night of Ideas is organized in collaboration with the Elephament bookstore.

 

17h15 -18h30 Teenage philosophers 和青少年聊哲学

Philosophy can respond to a need of adolescents who are building themselves today in a society in crisis, and therefore in need of guidance, by helping them to overcome their fears, to live better and to give meaning to their lives. Giving teenagers a taste for reflection means helping them discover the pleasure of thinking for themselves, encouraging them to take an interest in the world around them, sharpening their critical thinking skills and understanding the issues at stake today.

如今的青少年们在一个不断遭遇危机的社会中成长，因此难以把握方向。哲学帮助青少年克服恐惧。哲学帮助青少年克服恐惧，帮助他们更好地生活，帮助他们赋予生活意义。培养青少年对思考的爱好，便是让他们自主发现思维活动的乐趣，激发他们对周遭世界的兴趣，锻炼他们的批判性思维，并让他们理解当今世界的关键所在。

19h00 - 20h30 Towards a globalization of proximity? 全球化下的近距离协作？

Launch by Mr. Bruno Bisson, Consul General of France in Chengdu

The covid-19 pandemic has been hitting the planet for almost a year. It is changing our habits and our freedom of movement. While some economies are less affected by the crisis than others, all are affected. By modifying the major balances, covid-19 acts as a trend accelerator. What are the major trends or adaptations at work?

新冠疫情爆发的一年以来，人们的生活习惯和出行自由受到了极大的冲击。在此次危机中，所有的经济体都不可避免地受到或多或少的影响。新冠疫情如同一个加速器，正在改变原有的平衡与制度。我们的社会将有哪些新的趋势和改变呢？
