Birth of this project

It is Mesdames Carole Lahens (President of the CPTS), Katia Labrunee (Speech therapist) and Philomène Chinestra (Project manager at the Mutualité Française) who are at the origin of the project. Mrs. Sophie Puscian, Administrator of the Parvis validated this partnership. “Working together, the forecourt as a cultural establishment also has concerns related to the accessibility of our spaces,” she explains. According to the WHO, 1.5 billion people have a hearing loss. The effects of music on mental well-being and cognitive abilities are recognized.
