Since 1990, the Press and Media Week in School® has offered students the opportunity to discover current media in their diversity and pluralism.
Conducted each year in March, in partnership with more than 1,900 media outlets, this initiative allows students to explore the diversity of the press and engage with information professionals.
It is organized from Monday, March 23 to Saturday, March 28, and continues in the Nice academy until April 3. It is a flagship operation of the Center for Liaison between Teaching and Information Media (CLEMI).
Following the January attacks in France and then those in Copenhagen in February, CLEMI, in agreement with the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, and Research, decided to change the theme of this edition to “Freedom of Expression: It is Learned!”
Many activities are scheduled in the schools, middle schools, and high schools of the Nice academy.
By participating in this media education sequence, students learn to analyze, prioritize, and verify the information that reaches them, thereby developing a critical and thoughtful attitude towards information.
