As part of the Tilt Kids Festival, co-produced by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and French Institute Alliance Française, the French Cultural Services will host Carousel of Ideas, a day-long event for children on March 19, 2016. 

For one day, the French Embassy's iconic fifth avenue mansion will be transformed into an inventive and creative space where young audiences can exercise both mind and body. In the morning, philosopher Simon Critchley will orchestrate a forum of ideas with small groups of budding intellectuals.
