Antagône

Humans are inherently linked to words. Thanks to words, we exist, we share and debate with others. It is an indispensable tool for life in a democracy, yet it remains discriminating, because access to speech is unequal. It depends strongly on our social, cultural and economic condition.

Therefore, Antagône invites students to approach public speaking in a playful way, within the framework of moral and civic education classes. In teams, young people debate on thematic legal proposals, in a narrative universe inspired by ancient Greece and its great orators. Antagône is much more than just a board game. The game develops a refined and intensified way of speaking in order to create a better world

"The concept of eloquence is everywhere: the oral exam of the French baccalaureate, competitions, the media field. With Antagône, we question our relationship to orality, between a perspective of emancipation and a tool of domination or social reproduction. The game invites young participants to appropriate tools that they can also criticize through a double dynamic: expression and listening. Based on the Creative Commons license, Antagône invites the teaching community to actively participate in the project to expand it." Baptiste Fluzin, Teaching Manager Media Design Lab
