Created around ten years ago in Toulouse by musicians from the group MOPA (My Own Private Alaska), the association “Transform the negative into positive” has set itself the objective of preventing unhappiness among young people. How ? By organizing educational concerts in performance halls or schools. This was the case this Tuesday at SMAC Paloma in Nîmes in front of several dozen high school students. For almost two hours, Matthieu Miègeville accompanied by Edouard Bertrand, alternated stories and songs echoing the problems encountered by teenagers: family violence, school bullying, lack of self-esteem, homophobia, depression,… A device original intended for use the obstacles encountered to continue moving forward and forge your own personality. Matthieu Miègeville himself admits that he suffered from mockery as a child because he was a redhead and that he found refuge in words.

At the end of the concert, the musician also gives advice on turning to health professionals and a leaflet with a list of useful numbers. The association, which benefits from the support of the ARS and the ADPS (Health Insurance Association) is increasingly in demand at the national level.
