In partnership with laclasse.com and Erasme
Laclasse.com is the Digital Work Space for middle schools in the Rhône department and the Métropole de Lyon. The Centre Erasme, the digital-use laboratory of the Métropole de Lyon, hosts artists in its Digital Culture Classes, giving schools throughout the area the opportunity to conduct online projects through class meetings.
In connection with the 7th edition of the Forum on the Novel, Maylis de Kerangal and the Erasme and Villa Gillet teams have invented a collaborative literary game based on the Surrealists’ exquisite corpse writings. A similar literary adventure was conducted in 2014 with Léonora Miano.
This year, 260 middle school students (8th, 9th, and professional 9th grades) will write 11 short stories with Joy Sorman, author in residence on laclasse.com.
