School Programme during the Festival
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.
Schools programme during the Festival
During the Festival, 8 films – 12 screenings – on themes linked to human rights bring together a large number of secondary I and II students.
This is an exceptional opportunity for classes to get to the heart of the Festival, discover committed cinematographic works and share unique moments with the guests‧es.
The 2024 edition welcomed more than 1,000 pupils from Secondary I and II classes to the Cinémas du Grütli for screenings followed by discussions with filmmakers, protagonists, and expert‧es on the themes addressed. The films, some of which were part of the official selection, tackled issues such as ecology, migration, women’s* and LGBTIQ+ rights, artificial intelligence and data protection…
