Paris Collaborative Format
Unlike any other initiative, the Paris Collaborative is a voluntary platform that brings together the energy of students and the wisdom of global experts to co-create solutions that can shape the future.
Idea Labs
What Happens: Selected school students present their ideas on global challenges. Experts listen, advise, and collaborate, and even make spring board offers ensuring solutions are practical and scalable. Every interaction focuses on refining ideas, connecting changemakers, and unlocking potential.
Panels & Chats
What Happens: Experts and children work as co-creators—not as mentors and students but as equals contributing to the solution. Themes include sustainability, technology, AI, education, development and governance.
Annual Summit
