aVenir welcomes students, teachers, and staff of the Catholic University of Lyon for exchanges, reflections, and creativity in events organised throughout the year.

Everyone is Welcome!

aVenir’s aim is to accompany students in their process of inner growth, and the staff in the re-reading of their professional activity, in the light of the Gospel.
