5th edition of the Aix-en-Provence judicial Film Festival from February 23 to March 2

The program aims to provide justice-related film screenings for high school students, followed by exchanges with legal experts, police, gendarmes and officials from the city hall. Despite the vagaries of the health crisis, the partners wanted to maintain this organizational plan at the direction of Aix schools and also consider it via new themes and age groups. However, because the period is still complicated at the organizational level, the option offered to middle school students that was supposed to take place in December 2021 had to be canceled.

Some lines of questioning

* Justice and environmental awareness: Why are these two words filled?

* Environmental impact : what obstacles?

* Ecology : is it just a political trademark for you? Principle of life? Or an early awakening?

* What levers can we use – each at our own level-to limit environmental impacts?

* You find a wild dump while walking: what do you do to act?

* What daily actions can we create in separate or groups, to respect the environment, whether urban or rural?
