The Villa Gillet
Founded in 1987, the Villa Gillet welcomes in Lyon fiction and non-fiction writers, artists and scholars from over the world to ponder issues relevant to our ever shiflting world. The Villa Gillet makes the work of exciting contemporary thinkers accessible to the largest audience possible, by organizing events during the year, and during its festivals : the International Forum on the Novel — happening every year in May since 2007— co-organized with "Le Monde", Walls and Bridges, a ten-day series of events that happened from 2011 to 2013 and Mode d'emploi : un festival des idées — a festival of public debates — initiated in 2012.

Fabien Truong (France), ancien enseignant en Seine-Saint-Denis, est aujourd’hui sociologue. Pendant dix ans, il a accompagné une vingtaine d’anciens élèves, du bac jusqu’à la fin de leurs études. Loin des clichés médiatiques, Jeunesses françaises dresse le portrait, tout en finesse, de la jeunesse des banlieues populaires issue de l’immigration, qui incarne la face cachée d’une passion nationale : sortir de sa condition par l’école.
