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.
