If you haven’t heard of Scène27 yet, this is the perfect opportunity to discover this Lyon-based collective! Their aim? To shake things up and propose a different way of tackling the major challenges of our time: getting together, exchanging ideas and creating links around issues that concern us all. Scène27 is the joyful and committed initiative of a group of enthusiasts who transform reflection into convivial moments, discussion into human encounters, and the future into a collective project! Pretty cool, eh?
Events to have fun and rethink the world together
Rather than give in to the prevailing pessimism, Scène27 chooses the path of shared enthusiasm. Each event is designed to be a good time: you come to listen, debate, be amazed… but above all to meet other people driven by the same desire to understand the world and take action on their own scale. And all this, often over a good beer (we told you you’d be interested)!
Throughout the year, Scène27 takes over various venues in the city to organize off-the-beaten-track evenings: interactive workshops, artistic performances, open debates, collaborative games… The themes tackled are as stimulating as they are varied – ecology, digital, artificial intelligence, food, social ties… with a single objective: to create open and caring spaces for exchange. For our part, we attended an event on the theme of happiness, and we loved it! On the one hand, we learned a lot thanks to a card game specially designed for the occasion, and on the other, we met some simply brilliant people (proving that there are better ways than apps to meet nice people)!
Supported by some thirty volunteers, the collective has already brought together over 3,000 people, proving that a different kind of commitment is possible, based on curiosity, diversity and shared inspiration. You don’t need to be an expert to take part: what counts is the desire to get involved, to meet people and to be part of a community that believes in collective intelligence. Is that all? Then let’s talk about their next event!
A free open air event at Place du Gros Caillou at the end of summer
You read that right: a festive and above all FREE open air event is in the works for the end of summer! This time, the collective has chosen a theme that speaks to us all: friendship! For this event, Scène27 has teamed up with the Maison de l’Écologie, the Théâtre du Bruit and the Université Populaire de Lyon to bring together as many people as possible on Saturday August 30, 2025!
On the program? DJs, shows, projections, beer brewers, live concerts, talks by friendship experts, and many other surprises! The idea is simple: enjoy a free open-air event with music, friendly people (after all, we’re in Lyon, so people are bound to be top-notch) and plenty to quench your thirst! All the while, we invite you to discuss friendship: how it lasts, how it evolves, how we become friends… In short, a fascinating subject that’s already got us thinking!
We often talk about love, but friends are just as precious! So don’t forget to save the date and invite your friends!
