WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA! An interview with François TADDEI

  • Institutional

In a magical episode of the FACES.CACHÉES web-series, François Taddei looks back on his career and the key episodes that shaped his commitment.

In it, he shares his innovative proposals for education and delivers an inspiring kaleidoscope of his ideas, flitting from one subject to another. From transhumanism to the ethics of care and the notion of empowerment, François Taddei distills these themes as an accomplished storyteller, embodying with beautiful humanity Aristotle's words: « The ignorant asserts, the learned doubts, the wise reflects ». The episode also features several members of the Reliance network in complexity, as well as a professional magician-mentalist, not forgetting the arrival of a surprise guest! A truly... enchanting episode!

François TADDEI in WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!

A veritable cultural phenomenon, Harry Potter has become an intergenerational madeleine de Proust. His mentor Albus Dumbledore is one of the most powerful wizards of all time, as well as the principal of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this new episode of FACES.CACHÉES, we meet a man who is both: a jack-of-all-trades researcher with a desire to improve the world, and director of the atypical Centre de Recherches Interdisciplinaires (a sort of Hogwarts castle in the Marais district of Paris).
