Ever dreamt of a school that could teach you precisely what school didn't? That's what the School of Life aims to do via workshops offering good ideas for everyday life.

Initially a bit wary when the school was launched in April, Parisians are now queueing up to learn more about how to get the job of their dreams, realise their potential or have a good conversation.
