Médiathèque Léopold Sédar Senghor, Carré des Jalles

On Friday evening 11 December the Léopold Sédar Senghor media library in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, a town just west of Bordeaux, hosts a digital workshop within the Digital Rights Day.

The talk invites an exchange about our individual and collective ability to understand where a piece of information comes from and what it is worth, in the middle of an ocean of content. The listing says attendance is free. The language is French. It starts at 19:00 and finishes at 20:30. «L’éducation aux médias, la question des sources et de la « literacy »» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Prostitution law conference, Saint-Médard-en-Jalles

Salle Hélène Dubourdieu, Carré des Jalles

On Friday 27 November 2026 at 20:00 the Salle Hélène Dubourdieu at the Carré des Jalles in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles hosts a conference on the law against the prostitution system, part of the Quinzaine de l'égalité et de la diversité initiated by Bordeaux Métropole. Ten years after the law was adopted, Maud Olivier, Geneviève Couraud, Frédéric Boisard and a participant of the podcast La vie en rouge look back at its history, its advances and the current realities of prostitution in France. The listing asks what the law changed and which issues remain. Maud Olivier is a former member of parliament who carried the law, Geneviève Couraud is a feminist activist and president of an observatory for women's rights, and Frédéric Boisard represents the association Scelles. The conference is free, with registration through the city website, and it runs from 20:00 to 22:00. A conference like this is easy to attend alone, since it is built around listening, questions and exchange. «Une rencontre pour comprendre, questionner et échanger.» Starts 20:00, ends about 22:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Ville de Saint-Médard-en-Jalles (open data). The listing says the conference is free with registration.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
