Laval Hospital takes a step toward energy independence with two photovoltaic canopies installed on its parking lot, funded through citizen investment. With a capacity of 300 kWp, these installations will generate 331,000 kWh per year—covering 5% of the hospital’s electricity needs. 🌍🔋

Énergie Partagée, the leading network for citizen-led energy transition in France, supports this innovative project alongside Énergie Mayenne and See You Sun, through a citizen-funded model. This initiative is one of 21 planned solar sites in Mayenne, with a total investment of €6.8 million, open to individuals who want to invest in local and sustainable energy. 💪

This shared governance model allows citizens to become co-actors in the energy transition by directly contributing to local renewable energy production. A great example of how collective mobilization can speed up the shift toward sustainable energy autonomy!

Since 2011, La Poudrerie has been revolutionizing theater by putting the residents of Sevran and northeastern Seine-Saint-Denis at the heart of each creation. Under the leadership of Valérie Suner, this state-supported theater focuses on participatory productions where audience members become performers: creating plays based on their own experiences and sometimes hosting immersive performances in their own homes! 🎭🏠

With 120 performances annually in living rooms and parks, La Poudrerie invites everyone to reflect, debate, and share a convivial moment on key social issues. The initiative not only removes financial barriers by offering free shows but also strengthens bonds between generations, neighborhoods, and cultures. This “theater of social connection” invites us all to reinvent our relationship with art and citizenship.

👏 Kudos to La Poudrerie for this inclusive and innovative model that’s inspiring communities across the country!
