Gabriel Attal, president of the parliamentary group and future leader of Renaissance, explained his desire to “take a systemic step to a systemic problem“. At his side, at the Philanthro-Lab in Paris, we could find Ophélie Meunier, host of M6 who spoke, as did Agathe Auproux, ex-columnist of Don't touch my post. Committed personalities, like Christophe Beaugrand, star of the TF1 group, who also gave a speech. Marc-Olivier Fogiel and Patrick Bruel also wanted to support the Face Face Foundation, at the initiative of Gabriel Attal to fight against school bullying. Patrick Bruel also left a video message which was heard by the assembly.
Gabriel Attal who is co-president of the foundation with Béatrice Le Blay, mother of Nicolas, a teenager who committed suicide in September 2023 and Elian Potier, formerly harassed, clarified that his role within this movement is a role of '”pulse“. Anne Genetet, Minister of National Education, took advantage of the event to announce the annual renewal of the harassment detection questionnaire launched last year. An anonymous questionnaire which allows students to express themselves and which is put at their disposal (from CE2 to final year), since yesterday.
Miel Abitbol, who has 1.7 million subscribers on TikTok, and who launched Lyynk, an app dedicated to the mental health of young people, was invited. Laurent Solly, former chief of staff of Nicolas Sarkozy at the UMP and today general director of Facebook France – who is none other than the companion of Caroline Roux – was also present.
What are the missions of “Faire Face”?
The foundation wishes to respond to the immediate needs of educational establishments by providing specialist speakers on the issue of harassment. She also wants to organize training for educational staff and parents. It also aims to support victims of harassment and their families, in particular by offering them legal support and financial assistance.
