Stories from
the association.
A small log of what we are doing, who we are meeting, and what we are learning. We write rarely, and only when there is something worth saying.
Rochechouart District
An invitation to readers in Haute-Vienne to share their ideas for spreading joy across the district where the association was born.
The Polytechnique community
A note to the Polytechnique alumni — one of the founding communities of Pour La Joie — on what it would mean to weave gratitude into a graduate network.
INSEAD Alumni
A call to the global INSEAD community: how could the Joies ritual take root among alumni networks across the world?
Bresse
A pause in the Bresse country — a region of quiet farmland and small towns — and a thought on what gratuitous kindness looks like in a rural place.
Have you heard of pebbling?
An old-new word for a small ritual: the gentle 'pebble' messages partners send each other to keep affection alive, day to day — a cousin of what a Joie does between people.
