Geopolitics debated in Trouville-sur-Mer!
Orchestrated by Frédéric Encel every year since 2016, the Geopolitical Encounters in Trouville-sur-Mer are designed as a space for debate and socially aware exchanges. The primary aim is to give everyone a better understanding of our current world and the international issues shaping it.
For four days, experts, academics, journalists, historians, writers, artists and politicians meet in Trouville-sur-Mer to discuss and enlighten you on the crises, conflicts and major issues of today.
THEMATIC 2024: WOMEN AND POWER
Because geopolitics is not limited to the study of military and strategic conflicts, and in a world where the role of civil societies is increasing, I thought it necessary to dedicate the 9th edition of the International Geopolitical Meetings of Trouville sur Mer women facing power. To those who hold a share of it and to those who suffer ignoble consequences, to the women of yesteryear as well as those of contemporary times, to the representations of their bodies and their places in society. As in all previous editions of this major geopolitical conference, which has objectively become the first in France, a number of experts, academics and specialists will deal – in a republican and universalist spirit – with many panels on this fundamental subject. , conferences, testimonies, broadcasts and exhibitions
