What will YOU do about it?

22 students from 4 different countries will be with us soon (May 2nd- May 8th). We will be working on Human Rights, in regards to immigrants and refugees. The Erasmus + team is working hard to prepare the mobility to France and are learning about the issue of recent immigration to Europe. The CIMADE was present Wednesday March 21st and the students were congratulated for their exemplary behaviour and open mindedness!

Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale du 21 mars, date choisie par l’Assemblée générale de l’Organisation des Nations Unies en hommage aux manifestants tués à Sharpeville, en Afrique du Sud, le 21 mars 1960.

The whole group of Spanish, French, Romanian, Italian and Greek students in Mondonedo – during a few hours of sun… Our partners in Spain are welcoming us under  the rain and in the cold, but with a big heart and smiles  all over their face. The region is beautiful, the food is good and most of all, the people are friendly and open minded. So are all these young students participating in this project!

Don’t forget ! We’ll meet at 9.30 am in front of the theater (33 rue Bossuet, Lyon 6e). Don’t be late and DO NOT bring your backpacks. See you there !

Science Fiction … but also a harsh critic of censorship, where books are outlawed and where the media use all of their power to make people « happy »

Guy Montag is a fireman who burns books in a futuristic American city.

In Montag’s world, firemen start fires rather than putting them out.

The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves,

think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Instead, they drive very fast,

watch excessive amounts of television on wall-size sets, and listen to the radio on

« Seashell Radio » sets attached to their ears.  The society is not just superficial,

it is also on the brink of war and media mix soap operas and violent comedy with

nationalism and war fever.
