We're going to see the Louise Weiss exhibition on the gates of the Madeleine Church
What is the role of women in European construction? Europa Expérience and Citoyennes pour l'Europe tell us more on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day. From March 8 to 31, come admire the outdoor exhibition Louise Weiss, journey of a committed European on the gates of the Madeleine Church. This is an opportunity for us to discover the life of one of the founding mothers of the European Union. A journalist, a Member of the European Parliament, an ardent advocate for women's rights, and a pioneer of the European idea, Louise Weiss was everything a modern and engaged woman should be.

We spend the month of March at the Pop Meufs festival at the Pavillon des Canaux
At the Pavillon des Canaux, International Women's Day extends throughout the entire month of March! Because, ultimately, it takes more than just one day to highlight feminist struggles. The Pop Meufs festival is an opportunity to revolt, deconstruct, co-construct, and question, in order to create new societal models. Exhibitions, DJ sets, talks, book clubs... And on March 8th, an exceptional meeting will take place with author Laurène Daycard, the Nous Toutes collective, and journalist Hanneli Victoire.
