Since September 2008, writers have been visiting schools, hospitals, prisons, nursing homes (EHPAD), and associative structures in the City of Nice and the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, a unique initiative in France. Titled Reading for All, this operation aims to prevent illiteracy through meetings between writers and different audiences.
This Tuesday, March 14, Guilaine Chenu will speak at Lycée du Parc-Impérial and the Journalism School of Nice.
Guilaine Chenu is a journalist, director, and presenter of the news magazine “Envoyé Spécial” on France 2 since 2001.
