Around Ideal Libraries from January 24 to February 1, 2026

20 questions you should never ask at the beginning of the year January 24 to February 1, 2026

Our best wishes for 2026, surrounded by artists, writers, and thinkers who dare to challenge our certainties.
Join us at the National and University Library for six intense days celebrating freedom of speech and fraternity. Philosophers, authors, and artists will come to Strasbourg to ask questions that are uncomfortable but enlightening. And this year, for the first time, you will be the moderators in the heart of the city...

Where can we find strength?
Can we talk about fascism again without beating around the bush?
What should we do with colonial memory?
Can an election become a passport to anti-democratic power?
Can we still live as a community?

More than 20 burning questions asked in Strasbourg. Answers, perhaps, between January 24 and February 1
