The competition “I film the job that I like” is an initiative which aims to encourage young people to discover and promote careers through the production of short films.

Season 17 began in October 2024 where Hayat, Nathan, Eva, Sarah, Emma, ​​Genghis, Mathéo et Victor joined the project with the aim of producing a three-minute video as a team on a profession that they would like to discover or that they think they know. The agricultural field was chosen by young people with the objective of highlighting the profession of farmer.

The evolution of the farming profession

A visit undertaken within the Gaec des Fosseslocated in Moussonvilliers (Orne), was carried out. The young people were admiring the career of Philippe Lejeanne and his passion for his profession, as well as that of his employee Romain.

The choice was to make a short film “documentary format” within Gaec Lejeanne in order to highlight the evolution of the farming profession with sustainable development, methanization, mechanization.

Winners of the Grand Ouest prize

This action made it possible to confirm professional projects. For example, Mathéo wants to work in the equine or cattle sector, and Nathan, thanks to the Local Mission, was able to obtain his license and plans to resume his studies in an agricultural high school in field cultivation or driving agricultural machinery. Tuesday morning, the Local Mission was welcomed within the Gaec des Fosses, to receive the 3rd prize Grand Ouest, awarded by Crédit Mutuel de Maine-Anjou and Basse-Normandie.

“Every year, we are proud to see our young people win prizes during this competition. I am delighted to announce that the Local Mission will once again participate in the “I film the job that I like” competition for the 2024-2025 season” indicates Jean-Marie Goussin, President of the Local Mission.

Transmitting a love of the profession to young people

Philippe Lejeanne captivated the audience by passionately recounting his love for his profession and his wish to introduce agriculture to the new generation to create vocations and change perspectives on the agricultural world. “If I had several lives, I would do exactly the same life! The same job. I managed to pass on my passion to my two sons who took over and I am extremely proud of it. Each person should find their own way, they just need to explore, do internships to confirm their project.” he declared.

The young people, accompanied by Alexia Chabot, advisor and Julien Bouhallag, youth leader, retraced the highlights of this journey. “It is important to emphasize that agriculture is modernizing, but also its working conditions, this is the message that we wanted to convey via this video” explains Alexia Chabot.
