A French-American evening for EsperHope™

On October 15, the Consul General of France in Houston, Mr. Frank Marchetti, and the Board of Directors of Be Peace – Be Hope welcomed partners, families, and friends to the Residence de France to celebrate the pre-launch of EsperHope™, a free video game and learning hub created with young people from France and the United States.

Guests discovered the vision that inspired the project and how it was developed, ahead of its official launch in France at the end of October.

EsperHope™ is a French-American adventure, built with partners who share one belief: young people have something to contribute today.
