Georgia feels loveless - in the romantic sense, anyway. She’s 18, never been in a relationship, or even had a crush on a single person in her whole life.

After a disastrous summer, Georgia is now at university, hundreds of miles from home. She is more determined than ever to find love - and her annoying roommate, Rooney, is a bit of a love expert, so perhaps she can help.

Une plongée au cœur des territoires qui recomposent leurs espaces pour faire face aux risques climatiques Quand nos territoires ont été pensés, le changement climatique n'était pas une préoccupation. Nous avons bâti dans le lit des rivières, gagné du terrain sur la mer, densifié nos villes sans considération pour les équilibres naturels. Aujourd'hui, l’urgence climatique nous impose de repenser radicalement notre rapport à l’espace. Cinq étudiants de master à l'Ecole urbaine de Sciences Po se sont penchés sur cette question cruciale. En partenariat avec l'Institut pour la ...

In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture, the philosophy at the core of her life’s work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil.
