Reading for All, an initiative aimed at combating illiteracy. Since September 2008, this operation has allowed students to meet authors who share their passion for books, reading, and writing with them. In January, it is the writer and journalist Eric Fottorino who kicks off the 2012 program. He will meet with students from January 9 to 13.
