A tradition is being born, since last year, more than forty-five Web radios from establishments in the network pass the baton at the heart of the Week of French high schools around the world to explore the issues of the year. For the 2024 edition, it is on Thursday November 20, from early morning to late afternoon, from Australia in the East to San Francisco in the West, that the young international reporters (JRI) magnify the idea of a network with a school radio world tour! An event to follow on the Twitch platform or on this page on Thursday November 28 from 4:20 a.m. to 9:40 p.m. (metropolitan France time).
A major direct dedicated to the French-speaking world
For the third year in a row, a Grand Direct is organized during the Week of French high schools around the world. This Grand Direct composes a sort of continuous broadcast which resonates the voices of students from all continents on the same theme, with a diversity of points of view and radio formats (news, debates, sidewalk microphones, columns , interviews, portraits, reports, etc.), each establishment having a slot of around twenty minutes.
This radio project is coordinated, in conjunction with the AEFE, by two teacher-trainers working in two different areas of the network: Isabelle Savary (literature teacher), in the Asia-Pacific area, and Guillaume Veyret (history teacher- geography), in the Middle East zone.
This year, as the Week of French High Schools of the World, it is the theme of the Francophonie which was chosen in homage to the 19th summit of the Francophonie which took place in October in the city of the French language in Villers-Cotterêts.
37 countries in 24 hours
This year, the AEFE Grand Direct takes us to South Africa, Algeria, Angola, Austria, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Gabon, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Madagascar, Morocco, Mauritania, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Central African Republic, Dominican Republic, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Senegal, Thailand, Tunisia, Vietnam.
It’s a real world tour on air that the students of the French Education Abroad network are preparing for us. See you on the AEFE Twitch channel on Thursday November 28 from 4:20 a.m. to 9:40 p.m. (metropolitan France time) or on this page!
