Since last week, the Albert Londres College in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni has hosted a unique exhibition dedicated to the life and work of the famous journalist. Initially presented to the teaching team on November 22, this exhibition has been open to the school's students since the beginning of the week.

Made up of 18 panels illustrating significant moments in the life of Albert Londres, the exhibition highlights authentic historical documents. These materials, loaned by the Agamis association, allow us to discover the crucial role played by the journalist in the closure of the prison in Guyana.

For Marc-Philippe Mongis, principal of the college, this initiative has above all an educational objective:

It allows our students to better understand who Albert Londres was and to measure the impact of his writings.

Thanks to this approach, students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of this man whose name gives its identity to the establishment.

Coming from the Îles du Salut, where it was previously presented, this exhibition represents a unique opportunity for Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, as Marc-Philippe Mongis highlighted: “This is the first time it has been offered in our city, and it represents a valuable opportunity for our students and teachers”.

Accessible until the eve of the Christmas holidays, the exhibition aims to arouse students' curiosity about major historical figures while promoting cultural heritage. It is fully part of an educational approach aimed at linking past and present.
