Fondation Jean-Luc Lagard?re

Grant winners

From a creation of a digital coptic typography suitable for scientists to the development of a bookstore in Kourou in Guiana, from a report on young Mullahs in modern day Iran to an audiovisual poem on the metamorphosis of the North Pole, the panel of judges was enchanted with every grant winner’s project.
This year, the number of candidates was particularly high and as everyone noted, so was the quality of the projects presented.
