The Jeunesse des Franches-Montagnes society was awarded the Jura 2024 Youth Prize last Friday in Cinémont. The State awarded its president a grant of 5,000 francs for the project of “organizing a first meeting of youth societies throughout the canton in order to promote exchanges and strengthen social cohesion”, a concept which is reminiscent of that of the youth groups known in particular in the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg. The jury was made up of the Minister of the Interior Nathalie Barthoulot, the President of Parliament Pauline Godat, the substitute deputy in Parliament Francine Stettler, the substitute deputy and mayor of Geneva Anael Lovis as well as the delegate for cultural promotion Marie-Luce Allimannn . Julie Milani and her literary project in poetic prose “Meret-Oppenheim” which thematizes childhood alongside a parent in psychological suffering was awarded the public prize. Among the five finalist projects in the running also included the initiative of an open-air summer cinema in Porrentruy, an outdoor course made up of artistic houses or even an immersive sound and visual artistic experience linked to the St-Pierre viaduct.
