On 17 and 18 October 2026, the Facettes festival returns, offering workshops and a host of free activities focused on young people’s mental health and the theme of childhood, at a community hub in the heart of Paris.

Since 2022, the Facettes Festival has been the world's first festival dedicated to youth mental health! After several editions, the event returns on 17 and 18 October 2026, to Césure, the coworking space in the former Censier University. Created by young people, for young people aged 15 to 30, this event brings together students and early-career adults to meet and share around mental health, without taboos.

For this edition, the spotlight is on childhood, with two days to explore this life stage and the traces it leaves in us in all their forms, through roughly a hundred encounters featuring artistic creations, participatory workshops, performances, live podcasts, round-table discussions, meeting spaces, and festive moments bringing together both emerging and established artists. Safe place to talk about worries with others, learn new things, and feel heard!

To be accessible to as many people as possible, the festival has rolled out several measures, including rest areas, sign-language translations, and of course free entry for anyone under 30 (pay-what-you-can beyond). Still true to its solidarity ethos, the venue is PMR-friendly and the event promotes the #nolo, that is with peu ou pas d'alcool.
