A moment of collective and festive research taking place in a Centre Culturel de Rencontre (CCR), each Meeting is an opportunity for everyone to question contemporary social issues through the arts and heritage. Participating in a Meeting means opening wide the windows of the conference rooms and exploring the surroundings. It is to collect the stories that are passed on through the inhabitants of a place, like a living book that is questioned. It means broadening one's horizons and relying on collective intelligence to find new solutions to current issues.

The Meetings contribute to a contemporary and lively vision of heritage. Combining research and fieldwork, they allow for collective reflection on a given theme. Together, the Meetings create a collection that reflects the ideas gathered and new courses of action envisaged.
