What program for the European Heritage Days 2022 in the Metropolis of Lyon?
European Heritage Days 2022 will take place on September 17 and 18. Already the 39th edition. On this occasion, the Métropole de Lyon is taking up a fascinating subject: the contribution of migration to our heritage. The opportunity to question the foreign influences that have shaped our ways of life, our municipalities in a sustainable way. But also our traditions.
First of all, head to the new Franco-Chinese institute. Indeed, between 1921 and 1946, 473 students were welcomed in the capital of Gaul. A fascinating story traced in the museum of the institute alongside 2000 years of relationship between Lyon and China. Do not miss the special programming for children in this context.
Now head to Écully for a treasure hunt. The latter is organized by the children’s municipal council, the town hall and the historical society. A total of two stages on the theme of migration and courtesy. An ideal family outing.
Thirdly a visual and musical exhibition you attend Caluire-et-Cuire with Paris–Londres, music migration. Indeed, between the 60s and 90s many musical currents arrived with immigration and transformed the capital of France and the English capital. The opportunity to question the influence of the Parisian and London music scene. But also to discover how immigrants have used music to claim their rights.
In addition, the writer Azouz Begag, born in Lyon to two Algerian parents, became famous by writing his book Gône du Chaâba. The plot takes place in the heart of a slum in La Feyssine. Thus, as part of Heritage Days 2022, follow the path to school in the footsteps of children to question their memory.
In addition, a stroll will be offered at La Mulatière with stelae and in the alleys of the cemetery which will become witnesses to the history of migrations.
Finally direction Vaulx-en-Velin, a city shaped by immigration and industry. In this context, the worker canteen of La Boule-en-Soie presents an exhibition devoted to the human and industrial adventure of this site, which has been open since 1926, in the district of the Tase textile factories.
