• as a theatre-health creation entity: general public plays on organised cancer screening created in conjunction with the medical and public health bodies responsible for screening.
• as a que creation entity for disseminating scientific and technical knowledge: regular creation of dramatized tours with the organisation Les curieuses visites curieuses, participation in the Semaine du cerveau brain awareness week, the European Researchers’ Night, etc.
