A simple and pleasant evening, a straightforward protocol, brief speeches, and… straight to the point: the presentation of the 2017 calendar, one of the “classics” of the BTS Communication at the Imperial High School, the others being Cre’affiche and Com’Olympiades, presented by the students themselves.
For the year 2017, the students worked on a delicate subject, that of major national causes.
Their objective was to offer a fresh perspective while avoiding a moralizing approach. Did they succeed?
The answer is yes, the opus is a good vintage that shows both a keen eye on the “major national causes” (and not only), a sensitivity in their representation, and an aesthetic sense and ability to portray them that can only be praised.
A “round of applause” should be given to Lucille Detalle, the project manager, and the members of her working group and their teachers.
This experience will have marked their academic journey, and the result will undoubtedly be beneficial for them as they approach their professional careers.
Above are the themes that have been associated with the months and that can be found in the calendar:
January: cancer 20,000 women undergo mastectomy every year
February: disability 12 million French people are affected by a disability

An educational reminder that could be a source of reflection for those who will have the calendar in view in the coming year.
