THE SPIRIT OF THE ROYAUMONT INTER-VIEWS® OUTSIDE OF FRANCE
Since 2013, as a sign of the success and influence of the Inter-Views®, French-speaking personalities and francophiles have shown interest in organizing events outside of France in the same spirit as the Royaumont Inter-Views®.
The Inter-Views® held outside of France embody the same French spirit of enlightened debates and freedom of speech as those in Royaumont. They contribute to advancing ideas on strong themes that resonate with the challenges of the countries where they take place, in line with the spirit of the Enlightenment and francophilia.
Since 2018, the Royaumont Inter-Views® and local organizers have formalized their approach and signed a “spirit agreement” that establishes obligations of quality, eclecticism, open debates, and expression in at least two languages: the local language and French.

The very first edition of the New York Inter-Views®, titled “Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories, Social Media: The New Factory of Violence in Democracy,” took place on Thursday, March 16, 2023, in the salons of the Consulate General of France in New York. Organized by the Tocqueville Foundation in the spirit of the Royaumont Inter-Views®, under the high patronage of the Consulate General of France in New York, it explored the central question of the spread of violence, which has become all too often a mode of response to disagreements in our democratic societies. It is essential not only to understand the dynamics of this new and global phenomenon but also to find solutions. Failure to do so would put the already fragile democratic system at risk of disappearing.
Prominent specialists, intellectuals, and professionals shared their insights based on concrete experiences, research work, and analyses of the sources of this underlying trend and the responses to be found.
