SCHOOL SCREENINGS 2017 – MARCH 10-19
PRESENTATION
Ten years ago, the FIFDH initiated a teaching program for the students of the canton of Geneva ten years ago, as a contribution to the worldwide program in favour of human rights education launched by the United Nations in 2005. This unique programme offers activities during the festival and all year long in educational establishments so as to focus the young audience’s attention on issues concerning human rights and their violations.
SCHOOL SCREENINGS
Between March 13th and March 17th, the teaching program will offer screenings for schools. These documentary and fiction film projections will be followed by discussions moderated by human rights education specialists.
