BOOK CLUBS In French and English

Essences citoyennes – The Living Ideas Book Club (In French)

Reading to understand better, discussing to act better. Essences citoyennes is a book club focused on environmental issues — a space for ongoing civic learning. It features powerful readings on contemporary challenges, enriching discussions with invited experts, and an accessible approach that supports community engagement.

This project is created and led by Coralie Beaumont, a PhD candidate at Université de Sherbrooke. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on biodiversity governance from an information and communication perspective. A former science journalist and communicator, Coralie is passionate about bridging science and public dialogue.

Book copies: We plan to provide a few copies of the book as needed. If you would like to borrow one, you’ll be able to let us know in the sign-up form.

Coming up:

Spring 2026: Ordures! Journal d’un vidangeur – a look into waste management and public services.
