Throughout the afternoon, there will be meeting stands, a pop-up bookshop, solar demonstrators, energy timelines, a solar print workshop, and radio, offering ways to extend the conversations and meet the people who are integrating solar energy into their everyday lives.

A festive moment to end the day. Solar energy as a collective and sonic experience.
This first edition of RAYON·S takes the form of a day dedicated to those who imagine solar energy as a space of intersection between creation, energy and civic engagement .
Thinking about energy can no longer be limited to technical solutions; this event proposes to make it a cultural, collective, and experiential adventure . It considers solar energy in all its dimensions: as biomass, as light, as thermal heat, as electricity, and more broadly as the energy foundation of life on a planetary scale. Solar energy is understood here not only as a technology, but as a material, ecological, and cultural condition.
RAYON·S affirms a simple conviction: we need a vibrant, joyful, and shared vision , capable of connecting knowledge, practices, and territories. By bringing together the strengths of the Green Kommon network, Ars Longa, Disnovation.org, Énergie Partagée, and Atelier 21, the event becomes a platform for learning and mobilization, open to all those who wish to actively participate in the transition. A day to create, understand… and commit.
