Theme: TEDxRoanne

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Bastide Rrobin

Musician

RROBIN followed a classical music training course from an early age. He is a multi-instrumentalist. His ever-changing artistic identity is the result of multiple experiences, projects and encounters through various styles (classical music, jazz, rock, song, rap, world music, electronic music). Disregarding labels and letting his imagination run wild, he now offers music that mixes all kinds of sounds and influences that come together to finally intertwine, giving rise to a protean chimera of emotions and colours.

Casasnovas Thierry

Thierry vit dans la région catalane. Il a suivi des études scientifiques et obtenu une maîtrise de physique nucléaire. A 33 ans, il se retrouve entre la vie et la mort, son organisme épuisé par des habitudes de vie inappropriées. C’est alors un véritable déclic pour lui : Il modifie radicalement sa façon de vivre, se plonge dans des études scientifiques de physiologie et chimie organique, à la recherche de clés de la régénération et de la bonne santé. Après les avoir appliquées à lui-même, il propose depuis plusieurs années des conseils naturels en alimentation et en hygiène de vie, via sa chaîne Youtube, des rencontres et des stages.

Charles Torossian

Education inspector

Originally from Roanne, Charles Torossian joined the ENS-Paris andthe CNRS in 1991. First a researcher in pure mathematics, he was also concerned about the dissemination of scientific culture to young and disadvantaged audiences. He was recruited as General Inspector in 2009. In October 2017, he and Cédric Villani were appointed by the Minister of Education. Their work resulted in the "21 measures for mathematics education" in the Villani-Torossian report (submitted on 12 February 2018). He is now on an extraordinary mission to the Ministery of Education to implement the recommendations of the report.

Collin Gatouillat

Researcher

He presents himself as "Doctoral student in sociology of sport, associate professor of PE, trying not to be a big lazy slob" ! After a high-school diploma in science and then an incursion into the literary field, he finally found his way into STAPS (Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities) and followed it up to Ph. D level. His research in the sociology of sport at the Institut des Sciences du Mouvement E.-J. Marey de Marseille allowed him to understand the reasons given by young people who give up playing sports. With this topic, he won 2nd place in the "My thesis in 180 seconds" 2018 competition.

Corinne Pontet

Social worker

Corinne calls herself "the woman of this land". She is guided by her desire to be useful and make the world a better place... That is why she did not hesitate to change her professional life when she thought that it was elsewhere that she would give the best of herself. A teacher, baker and animator, she is now an educator for young unaccompanied teenagers from Africa. With these young people, who are often very vulnerable, Corinne does a wonderful job. She helps them in their efforts and journeys, of course, but above all, she supports them as they build a new identity and a place in society.

Gaelle Piton

Sophrologist

For Gaëlle, at the beginning, there is dancing. A live professional performer for more than 10 years, she has a real expertise in this sector. Currently, she is a sophrologist, coach, mindfulness meditation instructor. She is very active in the education sector and also works in schools to provide workshops and training for teachers and students. As a journalist, she hosts the monthly radio show "Des fourmis dans les jambes" and she also writes articles and interviews for various magazines.

Gérard Perrin

Psychologist

After a rather conventional career (studies in medicine, psychotherapy, etc.), a unique experience and the vagaries of life led Gérard to change his vision of the world, of the individual and of happiness. He brings a different perspective on the self, on what we are... or believe that we are. For him, "happiness is our very nature". It therefore does not have to be built or developed and no strategy is required to achieve it. With him, joy seems to come naturally. Be careful, Gerard may upset our preconceived ideas.

Laila Del Monte

Laila est américaine, elle a passé son enfance sur une île espagnole et a fait ses études à la Sorbonne à Paris. Douée depuis l’enfance pour communiquer avec les animaux, elle devient professionnelle en communication animale aux Etats-Unis et l’une des pionnières en la matière en Europe. D’abord ignorée chez nous, elle est aujourd’hui de plus en plus reconnue et de nombreux vétérinaires, éleveurs, cavaliers, entraîneurs, parcs animaliers… font appel à elle. Elle forme aussi des « communicants ». Laila consacre aujourd’hui sa vie à lutter pour l’acceptation de la conscience animale et à défendre les droits des animaux.

Liliane Siani

Researcher

Liliane has never given up her passion for music. After completing a double degree at the Conservatory / University, she decided to pursue a doctoral thesis in musicology. She is interested in the history of the Festival de Béziers at the dawn of the twentieth century (between 1898 and 1911), an event that considerably impressed the people of the time by its audaciousness. The young musicologist is particularly interested in the French cultural heritage, which she would like to promote even more. In addition, her activities lead her to meet other people - lyrical singers, actors, composers, etc. - who are also very different from her - with whom she is involved in various projects.

Mathieu Perichon

Danser

Mathieu is a dancer, he started his studies with hip-hop/street at the age of twelve at the Atelier de la Danse in Roanne. His passion for dancing grew over the years and he decided to make it his profession. In 2013 he began his teaching career and in 2017, he joined the "Pierre Boulez" dance and music centre in Lyon. Inviting Mathieu is for us a way to show that modern dance is a language in its own right that allows us to say almost anything.

Thierre Casasnovas

Food activist

Thierry lives in the Catalan region. He studied science and graduated with a master's degree in nuclear physics. At 33, he found himself between life and death, his body exhausted by inappropriate lifestyle habits. It was then a real trigger for him: he radically changed his way of life, immersing himself in scientific studies of physiology and organic chemistry, in search of the keys to regeneration and good health. After applying these principles to himself, he has been offering natural advice on diet and lifestyle for several years now, via his Youtube channel, meetings and internships.

Vincent Le Cerf

Scientist

Vincent is a "natural defender" of Artificial Intelligence, he is above all the Founder of Metagenia, a company specialising in software engineering. Very early on, he became interested in the evolution of technologies and their impact on society. His deep desire "to reach knowledge, make it more accessible and transmit it" leads him today to introduce us to what AI is but above all to show us how AI can improve our perception of the world and complement our human capacities. They are also our allies in the realization of our dreams and projects!
