If life is a canvas, how do we compose it with intention? Tomorrow, March 6, at 11AM EST on RedBoxMe in Collaboration with Cartier, Dr. Spicher will explore how artistic principles - composition, contrast, movement, and depth - mirror the existential task of self-creation. A monotonous life, like a flat painting, lacks dimension.   Through philosophy and art, we will discuss: Authenticity and self-expression: Shaping life as a unique creation Contrast and imperfection: How struggle and change bring depth Artistic thinking in daily life: Embracing uncertainty as part of the creative process Jean-Paul Sartre saw life as a project, an act of creation where we are both artist and subject, shaping our identity through choices. What does it mean to craft a life with the same care, contrast, and creativity as a great work of art? Life is not something we passively receive - it is something we compose, refine, and reinterpret. Join us on RedBoxMe as we explore what it means to live as both artist and masterpiece. This Agora is the first of the UNFILTERED Series, launched on RedBoxMe by The Gen Z Observatory-a modern think tank for Cartier in collaboration with ESCP Business School & HEC Paris as part of the Turning Points Research Chair.

Millions of children around the world are shut out of education due to poverty, conflict, and discrimination. Since COVID-19, even more have fallen so far behind that they may never return to school. The Luminos Fund is changing this reality by offering out-of-school children a second chance to learn, helping them catch up on three years of education in just ten months through an accelerated learning model. With small class sizes, interactive teaching methods, and community-led instruction, Luminos ensures that over 90% of its students reintegrate into local government schools each year—prepared not just to re-enter, but to keep learning. This Agora invites participants to reflect on philanthropy’s role in solving pressing global challenges, using Luminos as a case study. Together, we will explore: How Luminos has successfully designed and scaled an impactful education model. What effective philanthropy looks like—not just supporting good causes, but investing in organizations that grow and create lasting change. How newcomers to philanthropy can navigate where to give, weighing the merits of large-scale organizations versus targeted initiatives to achieve meaningful impact. Join Caitlin Baron (CEO of Luminos Fund), Pascale de la Fregonniere (Cartier Philanthropy Strategic Advisor), and Cyrille Vigneron (Chairman of Cartier Culture & Philanthropy) to engage in this critical discussion on education, philanthropy, and creating real, measurable change in the lives of vulnerable children worldwide.
