SUMMARY:World Cup Fever with Simon Kuper and Darren Tulett
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”RSVP Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fhost.nxt.blackbaud.com%2Fregistration-form%2F%3FformId%3Dcffd463f-9b0f-49d4-9239-32e9d35798fd%26envId%3Dp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g%26zone%3Deur|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”Zoom Link” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fus06web.zoom.us%2Fj%2F82252608299|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The World Cup is the biggest sporting event on Earth. The tournament\, held every four years\, is watched by billions\, and is shaped as much by politics and money as by what happens on the pitch. In this conversation\, Simon Kuper and Darren Tulett discuss Kuper’s latest book World Cup Fever\, his acclaimed account of nine World Cups and what they reveal about football’s transformation over the past three decades. From the spectacle and storytelling to the ethics and economics of the modern game\, Kuper reflects on how the World Cup has come to mirror the world around it—and why it continues to captivate us. \nAbout the speakers: \nSimon Kuper (born in Kampala\, Uganda in 1969) is an author and Financial Times columnist. He is a British-French dual citizen\, and lives in Paris. His recent books include The Happy Traitor\, his biography of the double agent George Blake (2021); Barça: The Rise and Fall of the  Club that Invented Modern Football (2021\, winner of Britain’s Sunday Times award for Football Book of the Year); Chums: How a Tiny Caste of Oxford Tories Took Over the UK (2022); Impossible City: Paris in the Twenty-First Century (2024) and World Cup Fever: A Footballing Journey in Nine Tournaments (2025). \nDarren Tulett was born in 1965 near Brighton\, on England’s south coast. After studying in Manchester—where his interests leaned more toward the city’s football teams and thriving music scene than academia—he moved to Paris\, on a whim. Not speaking French\, he began working as an English teacher\, unwittingly launching what would become a long international career. Following a brief return to England where he nabbed his first job as a sports journalist\, Darren moved back to the French capital and wrote for Bloomberg News and the Guardian before transitioning to French television. After a decade with Canal Plus covering English football\, he joined beIN SPORTS in 2012. He has since reported on major global sporting events\, from Wimbledon to the Olympic Games\, via the Tour de France and is currently looking forward to covering his eighth World Cup.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:Screening: The President and the Dragon with the Carter Center
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]In partnership with the American Library of Paris\, the Carter Center is excited to announce a special event in Paris showcasing the new documentary film The President and the Dragon. \nThis searing and compelling documentary\, a Touchline production in association with The Brave Road and Buffalo 8\, tells the story of an unlikely crew – comprising public health veterans\, local volunteers and former child soldiers\, plus President Jimmy Carter himself – traversing Sudan and South Sudan in pursuit of an ambitious goal: the total eradication of the vicious Guinea worm disease. \nAbout the Carter Center: \nIn 1982\, President Jimmy Carter and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter founded The Carter Center to “wage peace\, fight disease\, and build hope” in nations around the world. In 1986\, Guinea worm disease afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today\, thanks to the work of The Carter Center and its partners – including the countries themselves – the incidence of Guinea worm has been reduced by more than 99.99% to 10 human cases in 2025.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” color=”primary” css=”” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dj%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fthecartercenter.formstack.com%252Fforms%252Ftcc520screening%253Fbbeml%253Dtp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g.jZL5t9uq70ESwX6K49PCUwQ.r5EjkjTT7uEirxZF3FRq2fg.lQVa_H8U64kCd7teoRPfuWg%26uct%3D1775054564%26usg%3DkXOAG62pR91v0c8nsAOnJj5OVYw.%26opi%3D73833047%26source%3Dchat”][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The event includes a reception and opening remarks before the screening.
