    Le Vivi­er adopt­ed a Green Pol­i­cy in 2020 and obtained the Eco-Respon­si­ble Scene Accred­i­ta­tion for all of its actions in terms of sus­tain­able devel­op­ment. The orga­ni­za­tion of this think-tank is done to con­tin­ue in this direc­tion and on the invi­ta­tion of the CNMN to join their consultation.

    On this occa­sion, we will wel­come a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Con­seil des arts et des let­tres du Québec as well as the Con­seil des événe­ments écore­spon­s­ables for a short pre­sen­ta­tion, fol­lowed by a ques­tion period.
