The encounter will be held from 7th to 17th August 2026 in İzmir, Türkiye.
The theme of the encouter is “A Library of the World: The rest is still unwritten” and it's inviting participants, aged 15 - 17, to explore stories from different cultures while creating new narratives together and shape the collective creative process through workshops and the final performance.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of our member of honor Jacques Lemaire.
For his work with EDERED, he dedicated an extraordinary amount of passion, time, and commitment. Thanks to him, many children and young people had the opportunity to gain international experiences, meet others across borders, and become part of meaningful exchanges. He helped create countless friendships that will last a lifetime.
We are deeply saddened by his passing. Our thoughts are with his wife, and we are sending her all our love, strength, and hope during this difficult time.
The memorial service will take place on Friday 3 July 2026 at 3.00 pm at the Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône Crematorium, 35 avenue de Verdun, 95310 Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône.
