To become a nation is also to make our society a cultural society.
Le Silence de l'Ambition was founded in 2019 with the aim of working towards better access to culture and artistic practice. Our actions are based on three pillars:
- learning and artistic practice;
- the promotion of arts, works, cultural heritage and institutions;
- the "Assembly of Ambition".
Learning and artistic practice
Through the organization of artistic workshops (theater, music, dance, photography, cinema, etc.), we seek to encourage the artistic practice of young people. To this end, and beyond the daily work of our volunteers, we work to involve professionals in each discipline so that the experience of learning and then practicing is always based on concrete and viable biases, on which young people can rely.
The promotion of arts, works, cultural heritage and institutions
Through this second pillar, we organize cultural outings for young people so that they can discover our cultural heritage, works, cultural venues and institutions (museums, theater, cinema, Parliament, etc.). Because for us the approach must not simply be "artistic", but also serve to educate, transmit, train - with immense humility - potential citizens. These outings are also an opportunity for debates aimed at promoting critical thinking and acceptance of other people's opinions. This is the purpose of the third pillar.
The Assembly of Ambition
Conceived as a parliamentary assembly, the Ambition Assembly is a forum for debate on randomly selected topics. The debates are of two types:
- Debates: During the session, young people debate a randomly selected topic. They have a few minutes to reflect on it and form arguments and counter-arguments. This takes place either individually or in groups, usually of three or four, or more depending on the number of participants.
- Public speaking competitions: We organize three public speaking competitions during the year.
Similarly, a parliamentary assembly is organized every month, which reviews the codes of our institutions on a current topic, also discussed in Parliament.
