From March 25 to March 30, schools in Nice will experience the rhythm of the Press and Media Week at school organized by the Media Liaison Center (CLEMI) of the Ministry of National Education. This Monday morning, the Digital Information Totems, designed by the students of Lycée des Eucalyptus, will be inaugurated starting at 8:30 AM, just before the Digital Radio of Collège Jules Romains is officially launched from 10:30 AM.
Nearly 350 schools will be involved again this year, with 181 public or private schools under contract in the Alpes-Maritimes (86% of high schools, 72% of vocational high schools, 89% of middle schools, and 30% of primary schools), while in the Var, 167 schools (81% of high schools, 85% of vocational high schools, 83% of middle schools, and 20% of primary schools) will participate in the operation.
As has been the case for many years, many media outlets are participating in the various workshops concocted by Lilia Parisot and Jean-Paul Delbrayelle, both key figures of the CLEMI in Nice (Nice Matin, Var Matin, Nice Premium, Direct Matin, Clus de la presse 06…). And as every year, Nice Premium will offer a discovery day for students of a school in Nice. This year, it is the school of St Roch 2 and the fifth-grade classes of Carine Mannarini and Sébastien Lefebvre who will participate in the “Les écoliers font la Une” operation, which will allow these young journalists for a day to make the front page of our daily with five articles illustrated with photographs entirely made by them.
Five topics to start: The Saint Roch market, the house of associations, the Saint Roch 2 school, the Saint-Roch neighborhood, and the discovery day. Five groups will be formed and will go “on the ground” to meet, interview, or photograph, then return to class for the design of the articles and the selection of photographs before publication on Nice Premium and on the Journal Scolaweb of their school. This operation will take place on Friday, March 29, from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM in the Saint Roch district.
But this is not the only operation of this new Press Week since on Monday, March 25, two major actions will take place in Nice with the launch of the first Digital Totems with QR code within the premises of the Lycée des Eucalyptus starting at 9 AM, followed by the inauguration of the first digital media class in the Alpes-Maritimes at Collège Jules Romain with the launch of the network project “Write to be read, speak to be heard…” and the recording of the first web radio broadcast created by the young students of the media class, accompanied by Jean-Paul Delbrayelle, the head of this section.
The Press Week will end on Friday, March 29, at 6:30 PM at Bloom with the launch of the media café cycle, in partnership with regional daily press titles, offering a new way to gather around a very participatory format and to exchange and debate around unifying themes. The theme of this first edition will be “Educating our children about the media” and will be led by Olivier Ledeuff, a lecturer and specialist in information and communication sciences at the University of Bordeaux.
A busy week indeed for the press and the media, who will be happy to return to school…
