In 2023, the time had come to celebrate this milestone in style and bring the community together around a unifying project.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”208739″]TV feature on St-Prex[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”3268″ media_width_percent=”100″ shape=”img-round” radius=”std” uncode_shortcode_id=”135259″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”128516″]Janette Danko, from the Reg’arts<\/a> Saint-Prex association, came up with the idea of incorporating Genius Loci connected medals into the project and successfully ignited the Municipality’s enthusiasm \u2014 enabling the first medals to be deployed in record time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”671877″]Interview with Janette Danko, project lead[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”3264″ media_width_percent=”100″ shape=”img-round” radius=”std” uncode_shortcode_id=”838098″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”118228″]The platform was up and running immediately, but with tight deadlines, high-quality content had to be produced quickly for these first medals. St-Prex commissioned Ariane M\u00e9rillat<\/a>, anthropologist and researcher at UNIL in Lausanne, to write texts that were both thoroughly researched and genuinely compelling. Her partner Bastien, a photographer, brought the secrets of the place to life with striking, high-quality images.<\/p>\n

By interviewing long-time residents, Janette, Ariane and Bastien gathered original anecdotes and shared them in a modern, accessible format through the Genius Loci medals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-201165″ medias=”136363,136362,3284,3281,3283,3282,3285,3279,3278″ gutter_size=”3″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”” screen_sm=”” single_shape=”round” radius=”std” single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″ single_border=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”153211″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][uncode_block id=”131980″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
