The organization Païdos was founded by Nicolas Liengme, a child psychiatrist and François
Guisan, an environmentalist. Recognising the need for a framework for disadvantaged
children and teenagers in difficult situations with few prospects, a professional
organization was set up in 1996. The organization helps children and teenagers living
in Geneva in precarious situations or cut off from society, to be re-integrated. The
organization offers a unique framework combining teaching and psychology, which in
several months allows them to regain their identity and find their proper place in their
family, their school and in society. The programmes developed by Païdos provide space
for integration, re-entering education and counselling, make people more sensitive to
and prevent exclusion and improve understanding of problems linked to teenagers.
The CPPA centre caters for adolescents from 13 to 18 years of age who have dropped
out from school or an apprenticeship, with the objective to regain their self esteem, to
reintegrate them in the school system or in the job market. By making a self-portrait, a
project is drawn up for training or a profession. But it is often necessary to catch up on
schooling in order to be reintegrated into the system. From January 2009 a new CPPA
class was opened. This structure gives adolescents the possibility to catch up and work
towards the career path of their choice. The framework is interdisciplinary: medical,
pedagogical, educational, psychological. The courses take the form of themed
workshops, creative and sporting activities, and cultural exchanges. This project fills a
known gap in the educational system and facilitates the return to school of adolescents
at risk. Money raised will go towards this program.

L’association Païdos, organisation à but non lucratif, a été fondée en 1996 par Nicolas
Liengme, pédopsychiatre et François Guisan, environnementaliste. L’association
s’engage depuis 13 ans pour les enfants et adolescents en difficulté. Elle propose des
approches thérapeutiques et éducatives innovantes, qui en quelques mois, permettent
aux enfants en situation de précarité et aux adolescents en rupture de retrouver leur
identité et leur place dans la famille, l’école et la société. Les programmes développés
permettent d’offrir des espaces d’intégration, de réinsertion et de soins, de sensibiliser
aux phénomènes d’exclusion et de les prévenir, d’amener une meilleure compréhension
des problématiques qui touchent les adolescents.
Le Centre Psychopédagogique Pour Adolescents (CPPA) accueille des adolescents,
âgés de 13 à 18 ans, en rupture de formation. La réintégration sociale dans une
filière scolaire ou de formation professionnelle est l’objectif principal. Pour y parvenir,
différents outils et activités permettent à l’adolescent de travailler sur son parcours,
ses ressources et son identité. L’adolescent doit ensuite trouver un projet professionnel
adapté à ses souhaits et capacités et bénéficier d’une remise à niveau. Afin de répondre
à ce besoin, en janvier 2009, le CPPA a ouvert une classe qui accueille une dizaine
d’élèves. L’accompagnement est à la fois pédagogique, éducatif et thérapeutique.
Les cours ont lieu sous forme d’ateliers et différentes disciplines sont proposées (français,
mathématique, sport, activités créatrices, stages en entreprise…). En quelques mois,
les adolescents vont s’engager dans un projet professionnel et le retour à l’école sera
facilité. La somme collectée va permettre de financer ce programme.

Dr. Nicolas Liengme
Dr. Nicolas Liengme was born in 1970. He received his degree in Medicine
from the Geneva University in 1996. In this same year, he founded the
Association Païdos for which he has always been the president. This
voluntary work further led him to set up a Psycho Pediatric Center for
Adolescents, which he still manages at Païdos. One year later, he became
the first doctor to lay the groundwork for the Mobile Unit for Community
Care within the Community Medicine Department, a service that today
treats more than 1,000 disadvantaged patients per month in Geneva.
At the age of 28, after having worked as a pediatrician within the Services of Pediatric Surgery and
Pediatrics, and after having received the doctorate for his dissertation on the needs of marginalized
populations in Geneva, he was named the head of Multidisciplinary Adolescent Health unit at the Centre
Hospitalier Universitaire de Lausanne. In 1999, Dr. Liengme was named head of the Emergency unit within
the Medical-Educational Services, which he managed for 3 years.
Alongside his work for public institutions in Geneva, he also founded the Afghan Women and Children
association, which develops and supports numerous socio-educational and health projects in Afghanistan,
where he worked with support from the International Committee of the Red Cross. He built a team of
children’s mental health specialists, which led him to set up, two years later, the first clinic in Geneva with
departments focused on psychological health.
Dr. Liengme has largely contributed to the knowledge in psychology, psychotherapy and psychoeducation,
principally focused on the younger population, while he trained more than 70 professionals in this domain.
He has supported thousands of adolescents in Geneva and elsewhere to re-integrate in society and get
back on track when their internal and external resources had left them in distress and misery.
Né en 1970, le Dr Nicolas Liengme est diplômé de la faculté de Médecine de l’Université de Genève
depuis 1996. La même année, il a fondé l’association Païdos dont il est toujours président. Dans cet
engagement bénévole, il monte également et dirige le Centre Psycho Pédagogique pour Adolescents
de l’association Païdos. Un an plus tard, il est le premier médecin à poser les premiers jalons de l’Unité
Mobile de Soins Communautaires du Département de Médecine Communautaire qui soigne aujourd’hui
plus de 1000 personnes en situation de précarité à Genève mensuellement.
À ses 28 ans, après avoir travaillé comme médecin pour l’enfance dans les Services de Chirurgie
pédiatrique et de Pédiatrie et après avoir reçu le titre de docteur pour sa thèse de doctorat sur les besoins
des populations marginalisées de Genève, il est nommé chef de clinique de l’Unité Multidisciplinaire de
Santé des Adolescents du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lausanne. En 1999, Dr. Liengme est nommé
chef de clinique à la tête de l’Unité d’Urgences du Service Médico-Pédagogique, qu’il dirigera pendant
3 ans.
Parallèlement à son travail dans les institutions publiques genevoises, il fonde aussi l’association Femmes
et Enfants Afghans, qui développe et soutient plusieurs projets socio-éducatifs et de santé en Afghanistan
où il se rend grâce au soutien du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge. Il a monté une équipe de
spécialistes de la santé mentale de l’enfant qui le conduira à constituer deux ans plus tard la première
clinique genevoise avec des départements construits autour de la santé psychique.
Le Dr Liengme a largement contribué à la transmission du savoir en psychiatrie, psychothérapie et
psychopédagogie appliquée principalement aux jeunes populations, formant dans ces domaines plus
de 70 professionnels. Il a permis à des milliers d’adolescents d’ici et d’ailleurs de se réinsérer dans la
société et de retrouver leur voie là où leurs ressources intérieures et extérieures les laissaient dans la
détresse et l’impasse.

Georgem 3 is part of a series
of works originally inspired by
a photograph of pop singer
George Michael standing
before a similar black and
white background, which in
this work is represented in orange and two shades of blue.
Ducret designed this piece in cut vinyl in such a way that
one is troubled by the drawn grids, not able to properly

An E v ening with th e Legendary Woody Allen
Be the guest of Woody Allen, the famous film producer,
in New York where Woody plays clarinet with the Eddy
Davis New Orleans Jazz Band.
A VIP table awaits you at the legendary Carlyle Hotel
where you and your guest will be entertained by the
multi-talented American film director, writer, comic
and jazz clarinettist whilst enjoying classic dishes of the
Carlyle restaurant like the succulent and rare fillet mignon. In this intimate venue,
which holds only 30 tables, and is booked up months in advance, diners feel like
observers at a private jam session, as band members take turns to play the lead and
the evening typically winds up with just Woody singing solo with the banjo player.
Whilst other audience members might jostle for photos and autographs at the end
of the evening, you will take home your own personal piece of Woody memorabilia
as a fantastic memento of an exceptional night. Priceless
