the OFF des Assises
Starting from 4 November, you can catch OFF des Assises events in every neighbourhood around Strasbourg!
The OFF is making its way into all neighborhoods
Running throughout November to tie in with the Conference, the OFF des Assises consists of a fringe programme of events organised by committed local voluntary organisations and our partners.
Film screenings followed by debates, exhibitions, creative self-defence workshops, micro-theatre, "gesticulated" talks, round table discussions, etc. More than 89 events are on offer across all the city's neighbourhoods to address the issue of eliminating violence against women in an engaged and engaging, participatory and cultural way that speaks directly to all citizens, women and men.
OFF des Assises events you won't want to miss

- Talking circles co-run by two associations, À corps de soi and La Cité des lionnes, at the ARES, the community centre at L’Esplanade, and at the CSC Le Galet community centre in Hautepierre. The aim is to raise self-esteem and highlight the importance of financial independence in the fight against violence.
- Open Days at the Espace Égalité, with a micro-theatre play on discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people (for age 10 and over) performed by the Compagnie Reviens pour Discuter.
Just some of the events scheduled to raise awareness and encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the public debate and share their stories and ideas. To give people a better understanding of the different forms of violence against women and sexual and gender minorities so that they can then contribute to eliminating them.
