YES! Raising awareness of human rights among the younger generation is one of the key missions of the FIFDH. During the Festival or throughout the year, secondary I and II schoolchildren can watch committed films and take part in discussions on human rights issues.
The FIFDH team offers three different programmes for schools:
- During the Festival: FIFDH organises 12 screenings spread over five days on themes linked to human rights. The 2024 edition welcomed more than 1,000 pupils from Secondary I and II classes, and tackled issues such as ecology, migration, women’s* and LGBTIQ+ rights, artificial intelligence and data protection. Are you a teacher‧e and would like to bring your class to the 2025 edition? You can register from January 2025.
- All year round: Outside the Festival, FIFDH films can be viewed in your schools throughout the school year. For one class, the new online platform allows the films to be viewed free of charge and independently. For several classes, we organise aula screenings, followed by discussions with guest speakers.
- In classes: the new online FIFDH platform allows films to be viewed free of charge and independently throughout French-speaking Switzerland. Around twenty films accompanied by ad hoc teaching material (teaching sheet, filmed introduction and thematic discussion) are made available to teachers‧es and students. Are you a teacher‧e who would like to screen a Festival film in your class? Discover the schools platform.
- In schools: in partnership with the DIP’s Schools & Culture Department, the FIFDH visits schools and offers screenings in aula followed by discussions with speakers‧es. These screenings are free and intended solely for public secondary I & II schools in the canton of Geneva. These screenings are possible with a minimum of a hundred students. Would you like to organise a screening for several classes in your school? Send your request to ecoles@fifdh.org
