Franco-British Cultural Circle · Est. 2016
Defending the Free Circulation of Ideas
A Franco-British intellectual circle at the intersection of cultural diplomacy and European engagement that brings ideas, the arts, literature and civic engagement into dialogue to champion freedom, culture and transmission across generations.
Founded in London in the context of Brexit, Hexagon Society was born from a conviction: culture remains one of the last forces capable of connecting democratic societies.
We bring together thinkers, artists, writers, diplomats, academics and decision-makers around a shared objective: to defend the free circulation of ideas between Paris, London and Europe.
