In the TransVision 2014 symposium, fiXience, partner association of the project, launched an initiative specifically aimed at students. Since you have agreed to take part in this event, we thought you might also be willing to help us spread the call for participation below.
In advance, thank you for any contribution.

Saturday the 22nd of November 2014 in the a place
For Transvision 2014, first seminar dedicated to Transhumanism in France, Fixience, the AFT and 'l'espace des sciences Pierre-Gilles de Gennes' of the ESPCI ParisTech give you the opportunity to create a project with the theme of issues related to TRANSHUMANISM and to present it on the 22th of November 2014.
These projects must be creative and bring up inquiries related with Transhumanism.
Two prizes will be awarded: one from the public and one from the jury.
The competition
You have to sum up and illustrate the theme of the seminar: “Transhumanism and its social issues”. More than the questions raised with the human body, these specific points question social balance, through changes of ways of living. Also the issue with equality of modification's access can be explored. Your creation will infuse the debate with these ideas. You have the freedom of the medium used (a video, a play, a performance, plastic arts,...) ; a dedicated space will be reserved to expose your production it at the ESPGG.
