ELLE Active Academy initiatives implemented at Lagardère Active

The Elle Active Forum is an event organised by Elle magazine that has been held in several French cities since 2012. It has gradually established itself as an unmissable annual event for working women.

The events deal with several key themes relating to women’s career management, via practical workshops and one-on-one meetings, but also debates with experts. Over the years, feedback from participants has prompted Elle Active’s team to link up with training consultancies in order to cover subjects in greater depth. As a result, specific training courses have been developed to help women increase their professional skills.

Lagardère Active has naturally taken part in the project by setting up these in-house training courses. So far, more than 50 women have taken part in them. We decided to organise this training on an intracompany basis to foster discussions about these matters within the division.

The Elle Active Academy forms part of an approach promoting responsible commitment to women.
