Les Ressources Urbaines mark ten years with two days of community celebrations in Geneva. The programme highlights a diversity of creative practices, including an exhibition beneath the building’s glass roof, plus projections, performances and concerts by local artists and cultural practitioners. The event invites everyone to come together, explore varied artistic expressions and connect with the city’s cultural life in a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere.
The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
Join a citywide celebration of piano, music and community as an open-air project places playable pianos across Geneva. For 15 years the initiative has invited everyone to sit, play or listen, mixing spontaneous performances with a programme of short acoustic concerts in unexpected public settings. Instruments are freely accessible and many performances are announced only on the spot, creating shared, inclusive musical moments that bring neighbours and visitors together.
Join the community to welcome the start of the polo season at a three-day international tournament. Teams and players from across Europe compete over a weekend of spirited matches and social gatherings. Each day features competitive games, field-side hospitality, seasonal dining, music, and relaxed open-air club ambiance. Visitors can meet players and members, share conversations in club lounges, and celebrate together at the finale with a prize-giving ceremony that honours sporting achievement and community spirit.
Lie down, close your eyes, and let soft stories carry you into a calm nap. Gentle voices and quiet sounds paint colorful scenes inside your head while you rest on a cushion or in a grown-up’s arms. Short audio tales drift like warm blankets, inviting imagination, safety, and rest. This soothing, inclusive moment brings story magic to children who prefer to listen, including those who are blind or have low vision, helping them discover new worlds as they sleep.
