Cindy Laupen

Founder of the association 'Les Ateliers de la Bioéthique' (Bioethics Workshops), I lead spaces for reflection and dialogue on major ethical issues related to health, science, and the environment.

The association offers:

• Participatory workshops for high school students, university students, teachers, and the general public

• Conferences and round tables with expert speakers

• Educational activities integrating debates, case studies, and simplified scientific resources

The goal is to make complex subjects accessible, develop critical thinking, and foster respectful exchange between different viewpoints.

Speaker at the 4th Nutricréole Conference (Overseas Health, Earth Health – Healthy in my plate), I presented a talk on chlordecone and its consequences in the Antilles. My intervention focused on the history of its use, its health and environmental effects, as well as prevention issues. I designed and led an educational session to explain this complex topic to a diverse audience, using reliable scientific data and appropriate visual aids. The objective was to raise awareness and equip participants—professionals, teachers, students, and the general public—so they could, in turn, transmit this knowledge and contribute to prevention.

Conference on euthanasia with Didier Sicard, Emmanuel Sapin, Louis Puybasset, Michèle Salamagne, Anne Marie Dickelé, Olivier Sigman, Xavier Labbé, Vincent Morel, Marie-Josée Forissier.

As part of the conference "END OF LIFE: WHAT IF WE REALLY TALK ABOUT IT!", I facilitated a conference on euthanasia, addressing the ethical, medical, and legal issues related to end-of-life care.

The intervention was based on a cross-analysis of scientific data, legislative texts, and philosophical reflections, to provide the audience with nuanced keys to understanding this sensitive topic.

The conference opened a space for dialogue between health professionals, teachers, students, and citizens, encouraging reasoned and respectful exchange on major societal choices.
