Elles de France Trophies: the Île-de-France region celebrates exceptional women

For the fifth year running, the Île-de-France region organized the "Elles de France" trophy to highlight the women in the region who contribute to the region's influence and attractiveness. Once again this year, four awards were presented: the Innovation Prize, the Creation Prize, the Courage Prize and the Solidarity Prize. In addition, the Prix Simone Veil, awarded by the public, honored a woman for her commitment to a worthy cause.

Led by the President of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, and accompanied by journalist Caroline Blaes, the ceremony was an opportunity to discover women with immensely varied profiles, some of whom have been fighting for years to make our daily lives and our society fairer.

It's against this backdrop that Caroline Derveaux, nominated for the Prix de la Création, has been hailed for her work in public space and her vision of a more inclusive society through contemporary art. A graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Chelsea College of Arts & Design, Caroline Derveaux is one of the pioneering artists of art in the public space and in her way of disrupting the aesthetics of cities. The artist's mission is to change people's relationship with the urban environment by creating new forms
of cohesion between inhabitants, bringing people together around an aesthetic accessible to all in a humanist approach. His frescoes are a surprise, a chance to (re)discover the city through fresh eyes. The banal, the hidden is sublimated.

Winners of this creative award, the founders of Resap, Mona Boujtita and Daphnée Grem, are working to rethink the way we consume in a rapidly changing society. Alongside them and Caroline, it's important to highlight the colossal work of these women, who are a profound source of inspiration to us all. 

A major event in the Île-de-France region, celebrating the commitment and success of women in the region, these trophies show that nothing is impossible as long as motivation is present.
