A seminar day at Tocqueville Castle
On May 24th, the Tocqueville Foundation, in partnership with Parlons Démocratie had the pleasure of welcoming a group of teachers for a unique study day at the Château de Tocqueville, a very symbolic place where Democracy in America was written.
This special day was marked by a deep dive into the thought of Alexis de Tocqueville, guided by the illuminating insights of Françoise Melonio, Professor Emerita at the Sorbonne. who highlighted Tocqueville’s enduring relevance to democratic governance. François Duluc, Honorary Director at the National Assembly, and Pascal Rey-Pantz offered an insider’s view of parliamentary life and the workings of French democracy.
This training day provided a valuable moment of reflection and inspiration for those who carry the vital mission of educating the citizens of tomorrow.
