Dis-Moi Dix Mots

Enter our story-writing competition for a chance to win exciting prizes!

The theme “D’un Monde à Venir” invites us to reflect on the future by first understanding the present and our place in the universe. It encourages us to question our choices and responsibilities, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence, a powerful tool that can also pose serious ethical risks. This imagined future explores worlds shaped by ecological, social, and technological crises, where humanity itself is transformed.Drawing on science fiction and speculative fiction, the theme opens space for imagination and commitment.
