TedxYouth@IIL is a series of talks organised by a group of Year 12 students at Institut International de Lancy (IIL).
The talks will focus around the theme, “Questioning the Unknown”, which aims to inspire people to ask more questions in their everyday lives. This theme provokes discussion around unasked questions – those which are not usually researched – and unanswered questions – those to which a clear answer has not yet been found.
Speakers will be a combination of IIL students (ages 10 and over), IIL staff and external speakers.

Art Home 42 is the launch of the first edition of a temporary 2-days gallery combining contemporary art and interior decoration. The aim of the event is to break with the codes of traditional galleries in order to promote accessible art & designer furniture.
A space in which we will be recreating living spaces out the selected designer furnitures & showcase artworks of local artists. During this event, we will be organising talkshows around decoration, with designers, interior architects and experts from auction houses on contemporary art.
It’s a brand new concept in Geneva that has never been organised before and we would be really delighted to present a selection of works and furniture.
A weekend of information and fun for young and future families. Information stands, activities for adults and children, workshops, stories… All with the cross-cutting themes of community, diversity and environmental responsibility.
There will be food stands, but picnics are welcome. A “garderie” (payment by donation) will allow parents to visit the stands and attend presentations while their children play.
The entire event will be no-smoking so that you and your children can breathe easy!
