Usine Extraordinaire

Une véritable usine, construite au cœur de Paris, sous la Nef du Grand Palais

Du 22 au 25 novembre 2018, l’Usine Extraordinaire va rassembler les citoyens et notamment les jeunes pour leur montrer la richesse et la modernité de l’industrie française : lieux de créativité, de passion et d’innovation, viviers de nouvelles opportunités professionnelles, vecteurs de lien social et d’intégration.

A propos de l’Usine Extraordinaire
L’Usine Extraordinaire est un projet d’intérêt général, porté par la Fondation Usine Extraordinaire, abritée par FACE – Agir Contre l’Exclusion - qui a pour objet de retisser les liens entre l’usine et la société.
Soutenu par toute l’industrie et la French Fab, la Fondation a vocation à rassembler l’ensemble des parties prenantes : industriels du made in France engagés et responsables, partenaires sociaux, monde de l’éducation et de la formation professionnelle, monde de la recherche, décideurs institutionnels... pour démontrer que l’usine aujourd’hui est un lieu de production moderne, connecté, inspirant et un acteur engagé pour une société responsable.
