• Bruno PERRIER

  Firefighter on duty in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories.

  Bruno Perrier is a French firefighter by training. He draws on his experience managing a small team for several months in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. A profound introspection, a new vision of human relationships and relationships with oneself, and a list of lessons on our ability to discover and push our limits.

• Calixte PARENDEL

  Student at the Centrale School of Nantes

  Calixte is a 21-year-old student who lives in his time. He lives with modern technologies, the latest means of communications and information systems. However, what prevents us from dialoguing with our ancestors? And vice versa? Why do older people limit themselves when it comes to engaging with younger people? How can we explain this fear of inter-generational dialogue which limits our interactions and the richness of our exchanges? A questioning of our own limits in our system of communication between generations.

• Florian VARNIER

  Volunteer Officer for the Raoul-Follereau association

  Florian Varnier is first and foremost an engineer from Normale, who switched his career to the associative world. He was responsible for communication campaigns, fundraising and finally teams of volunteers. He uses his engineering training to develop innovative solutions oriented towards the development of solidarity and the commitment of all. Solutions that would allow us to overcome the limits that each and every one of us imposes on ourselves. Towards a new and rethought solidarity, which frees itself from the limits of current models.

• Françoise PERA-BERTHIER

  Professional Coach

  Françoise PERA-BERTHIER is a translator and teacher by training, converted to professional coaching. She supports personal transitions and professional upheavals in companies. She then decides on a new revolution in her life: leaving her successful professional life to become a clown and make people laugh. It will teach us to dare to live our lives without limits, demonstrating that these are only imposed on us by ourselves.

• Luca TINEBRA

  Student at the Centrale school of Nantes

  Luca Tinebra is a student at the Ecole Centrale de Nantes. It is at the heart of his engineering training, which lasts 5 years in France. He was able to test his way of thinking, the way his brain thought. How does he process information, and how can he be trapped and limit his power through bias? Based on shared experiences and reflections, Lucas invites us to become aware of our cognitive biases to better overcome them and thus further push the limits of our cranial power.

• Romain OLLA

  Activist for social and climate justice and to put the general interest at the heart of the political field

  Romain OLLA is a former student of the Centrale de Nantes school. Since obtaining his engineering degree, Romain has been working alongside citizens engaged in climate struggles, opposing large-scale polluting projects. It multiplies its means of action, proving that the fight for its ideals is only a function of the commitment of its authors, pushing the limits of the possible. It will offer us a new possible vision of the world, beyond the limits that we sometimes set for ourselves.
