Our challenge

The concept is simple: you enter the boutique of transitions and are projected into the year 2050. You'll discover futuristic yet realistic objects and services, based on scientific content and current or future research. Visitors will plunge into an escape-game-style scenario or "story in which you are the hero", based on design fiction integrating scientific data, enabling them to reflect on the choices facing society, their individual and collective behavior, and the choices to be made in the coming years to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Information

The 6th and most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is unequivocal on human responsibility for global warming and the urgent need to act.
Its detailed assessments of the state of scientific knowledge on climate change, its causes, potential repercussions and coping strategies call for a rapid response to limit the consequences of global warming.

We therefore need to give our citizens the keys to understand these major social issues, in which scientific and technical questions are essential. As voters, as participants in the debate, as players in collective life, they need to be able to distinguish between beliefs, convictions, opinions and proven facts, to distinguish between what we know and what we don't know, to be aware of possible solutions and innovations, in order to make the right decisions and set in motion the transitions we all need to make. An energy and ecological transition is an environmental necessity if we are to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

The project
To reach new audiences, and young people in particular, we need to reach out to them and move away from dedicated venues that often only attract audiences who are already aware of the issues. We therefore propose to create anitinerant "Boutique des transitions": a nomadic place of education, training and learning which will present the subjects linked to transitions in an attractive, participative and original way, but always clear and understandable, without oversimplification.The stakes are high in the face of current challenges relating to the environment, energy, natural and agricultural resources, medicine and the digital transition.

To achieve this, we propose to use an animation semi-trailer that has already proved its worth during a 4-year tour of over 60 regional towns, for the Boutique des Transitions, and to take over town centers and neighborhoods for a week, creating a buzz and deploying a series of animations, workshops, debates and exhibitions for different audiences on the theme of transitions

The aim of the challenge is to design objects or uses for this boutique and the associated mediation scenarios.
