ERIS, The French School for Exiled People in Lyon Since 2016, the ERIS association has developed a welcoming and resilient living and learning space dedicated to exiled people, to facilitate their integration in France. Language learning, discovery of French culture, building social connections, and support toward socio-professional integration are at the heart of our daily activities. We believe that by working together to build a more inclusive and just society, exiled people can not only rebuild their lives, but also contribute positively to their new host country. We are convinced that sharing a common language is one of the key factors in living together.
