Launch of a New “Agir pour l’éducation” Project

Action Research Project: “Reimagining Rhetoric: Why? How?”

The project “Reimagining Rhetoric: Why? How?” is led by Professors William Marx and Jean-Luc Fournet and implemented in the field by Lucie Donckier, Sarah Pariser, and Benjamin Sevestre-Giraud. It is the very first project of the “Agir pour l’Éducation” initiative to be entirely dedicated to the teaching of French in middle and high school.

Over the course of three years, this action research aims to strengthen the connection between the teaching of literature, language, and discourse by drawing on the knowledge, values, and pedagogical practices specific to rhetoric.

To this end, the research employs a collaborative approach to work with teachers to develop innovative rhetorical practices tailored to current school curricula.

This project is part of the Collège de France’s “Agir pour l’éducation” initiative.


The "Agir pour l’éducation" initiative is supported by the Collège de France Foundation and its patrons.
