Please note that Valère will be joining us via Zoom and not in person, as he has relocated to Japan for a new contract.
Join us for a special 90-minute edition of Philo Bistro - just like a football match - featuring Valère Germain, a professional footballer
who has played for renowned French clubs such as Marseille and Monaco, and now plays in the Japanese league, after having graced Australia
with all its talent.
In this unique event moderated by long-standing host Olivier Vojetta, we will explore not only the intricacies of the beautiful game but also the deeper human dimensions of football. How does a sport like football shape personal identity and values? How does one handle the pressure to succeed at the top level?
Valère will share his experiences transitioning from Europe to Australia and Japan, his motivations for joining playing on the other side of the world, and how this journey has lived up to his expectations, both on and off the field.
Whether you’re a football enthusiast or simply interested in the broader impact of sports, this conversation promises to offer thoughtful insights. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on the game and its wider influence on our world - all within the span of a soccer match!
Discover our series of philosophy meet-ups - à la française!
During these themed sessions moderated by published author, Olivier Vojetta, explore ideas of social and cultural importance,
unpack contemporary issues and re-examine how you understand the world. Each meet-up is an opportunity to engage in friendly debate
and discussion over a glass of wine, whilst practising your French speaking, listening and comprehension skills.
We recommend French level B2+ to participate. No additional preparation is necessary.
Olivier Vojetta was born in Nancy, France and lived in London for more than
10 years before moving Down Under with his Australian wife. He is a fiction writer who has published several novels in French.
Please note that a separate booking is required to attend each session.
