The Week of French Schools Around the World (SLFM)

Launch of Year Of Media And Information Literacy (EMI):

The year 2022 will be marked by numerous events with strong global resonance, abundant information, and a media landscape undergoing profound change. The AEFE proposes to focus this year on media and information literacy (EMI ) in close liaison with diplomatic posts to “be informed in a connected world to form enlightened citizens.” 

EMI contributes to training in critical thinking, citizenship and, more generally, a better understanding of the world. Various official reports have highlighted the importance of these issues for education, training and democratic life. These questions are particularly acute for students in the network of French schools abroad after two years of health crisis and home-based learning, during which connections have increased even further. Given the expectations expressed by students and educational teams within the network, the AEFE has decided to support learning and projects related to EMI.

The year of Media & Information Literacy within the AEFE network aims to raise awareness of these issues, stimulate transdisciplinary teaching & learning in classes and promote pupils’ production throughout the year and over the long term.

Four highlights will punctuate this year:

– The Week of French High Schools of the World  (SLFM) from November 28 to December 3, 2022.

– Press and media week (March 2023), in partnership with CLEMI.

– An EMI day at the AEFE: conferences and round tables (April-May 2023).

– The May of languages (May 2023).
