Located in the heart of the Old Town, in the birthplace of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the MRL is a six-story cultural hub centered on literature. The venue features a permanent exhibition on Rousseau and engages with contemporary issues related to his works. It hosts debates, performances, and educational activities, while also offering residencies for writers and researchers. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a café within the space.
Meet the laureates of the Canton of Geneva’s writing grants and explore the behind-the-scenes life of the literary centre. This festive, generous evening brings the community together around readings and new performances that showcase the diversity of their work. Everyone is welcome to circulate through the venue’s spaces, listen, share reactions and connect with writers and neighbours. The event celebrates creative writing as part of a lively literary community and offers moments of exchange and conviviality.
Facilitated by Hinde Kaddour, this writing workshop explores the voices of children using anonymized audio recordings. Participants listen attentively and produce short written forms — fragments, bursts, and altered transcriptions — that preserve the uniqueness of child speech without smoothing it, letting voice shape language. Through close listening and short exercises, the session examines ethical considerations, stylistic strategies and techniques for keeping oral rhythm and texture in writing.
