A PLACE FOR DEBATES

Since its creation, the Cité internationale has welcomed several generations of young talent who have become great intellectual figures. Today it is a place of life for youth engaged in building a new world and continues to be a place for debates where you can reflect on solutions to the big questions of our time.

Diplo Cité: diplomacy through residents

A miniature version of the United Nations, the Cité internationale has always aimed to be a “school of human relations for peace.” Designed by and for residents, the Diplo Cité initiative seeks to create a space for exchange, debate, and learning, focused on the international challenges of the 21st century. Through regular meetings, this space enables residents to develop a genuine diplomatic culture within a participatory and creative environment.

THE RESIDENTS’ INITIATIVE FUND: AID FOR RESIDENT CREATION

In order to allow residents to realise their artistic, cultural, citizen or even sportive projects, the Cité internationale puts out a call twice a year for projects to support resident initiatives. It allows selected projects to benefit from financial aid from the Residents’ Initiative Fund. The projects can be on various themes such as peace, sport, digitalisation, culture, citizenship, the environment and solidarity. They must involve several houses on campus and encourage residents to meet and have exchanges.

Podcasts : les savoirs

In this collection, discover a selection of lectures and conferences recorded across the 47 houses of the campus. Each episode provides access to talks by academics, researchers, and international experts, extending reflection beyond the time of the event. The houses, which embody the identity of the countries they represent, offer a unique setting for intellectual debate and the exchange of ideas. The meeting of cultures there enriches academic reflection.
