• Alexandre Thève

  For Alexandre, balance is not a straight line—it is a constant state of imbalance. A student in Information and Communication at ICP, he made his first “double-or-nothing” bet at the age of 15, taking on a mission he knew nothing about. What began as a “side quest” became his driving force: today, he leads the 50 members of the Broadway ICP association and coordinates large-scale projects for over 1,200 spectators. Now, he explores our relationship with risk and the unknown.

• Cedric Arsac

  Cédric Arsac, 52, is married with two children. He holds a postgraduate degree (DESS) in Marketing from the University of Auvergne and spent 15 years working in the marketing departments of several financial institutions (including HSBC and Floa). At the age of 40, he decided to change his life. After two years of preparation, he became a baker in 2015, opening his first shop. He now manages a group of four bakeries, all located on the Left Bank of Paris. He is also passionate about triathlon, which he practices regularly.

• Héloïse Legendre

  During her Information and Communication degree, she chose to specialize in journalism. In her third year, she went to Ukraine to practice reporting in a conflict zone. This year, she is learning Ukrainian at INALCO and is supported by the journalism prep program La Chance. Last November, she returned to Ukraine, where she co-directed her first independent documentary on YouTube, “Rage en Ukraine: des vétérinaires en première ligne.” She also sold an article and a photo report to a specialized magazine. Professionally, she has worked with a local radio station in Bayonne, France TV Slash, and an independent art-house cinema. On a personal level, she is a singer in a music association and performs improvisational theatre with a troupe. She is also passionate about photography and actively advocates for animal rights through an association. “Giving herself the means to succeed” is what drives her every day.

• Odile Ouachée

  Médecin, ancienne urgentiste avec trente-neuf ans de pratique, devenue psychosomaticienne, elle reste auprès de patients en grande vulnérabilité, parfois en fin de vie. Là où les questions deviennent brutales : qu’est-ce qui reste quand tout semble s’écrouler ? Elle refuse d’opposer les soins entre eux, préférant les relier pour remettre la personne au centre, corps, psychisme et esprit confondus. De cette expérience riche est née une boussole qu’elle nomme les « 4 piliers de l’être », pour guider quand les repères s’effacent et que l’on cherche encore une lumière. Elle offre un regard neuf, une expérience de terrain qui nous invite à réfléchir à notre propre façon d’accompagner la vie, dans ses heures les plus sombres comme les plus lumineuses.
