SEVE (Savoir Être et Vivre Ensemble)

Founded in 2016 by Frédéric Lenoir and Martine Roussel-Adam, the SEVE association was born from a shared vision: to equip younger generations with tools to think more clearly, understand themselves better, and live together more harmoniously through the practice of philosophical inquiry.
In response to the challenges of our time, SEVE is driven by a strong belief: fostering discernment, active listening, and critical thinking from an early age is essential to building a more just, tolerant, and peaceful society. The association aspires to help children grow in wisdom and humanity, contributing to a more conscious, compassionate, and respectful world.
