Fighting against Social Isolation, with Clotilde Gilbert (WKF)
As a prison chaplain at the Nanterre detention center for 7 years, Clotilde Gilbert witnessed firsthand how confinement and inaction can desocialize, destabilize, and dehumanize people.
In 2014, she decided to create the Wake Up Café association to tackle this issue. Its mission? To support motivated prisoners and guide them toward sustainable reintegration without recidivism.
Clotilde is also the co-founder of Quai Liberté, a 2,000m² space dedicated to social and solidarity initiatives (ESS), right in the heart of Paris’s 15th arrondissement. With a terrace, restaurant, reception spaces, and events, it’s a vibrant place along the Seine where everyone commits to having a strong social impact, we’re fans!
But enough said, we’ll let Clotilde share her inspiring journey with you in this episode.
