Over 80.000 postcards distributed in France

For this new European edition, the SAY project has been launched in nearly 69 departments across France. Nearly 85,000 postcards have been distributed to the schools and institutions participating in the project.

Most of the project's beneficiaries (73%) were students, ranging from kindergarten to high school. For almost half of the institutions that implemented the project, this was their fifth time or more participating! This demonstrates real loyalty to the initiative. The main reasons motivating their participation are the values of fraternity, respect, and tolerance, but also image interpretation education, particularly to help understand the contemporary world.

Thanks to feedback from teachers, we know that 5,000 postcards were sent, including about a hundred abroad. This year, many postcards (1,386) were sent back, with messages of solidarity bringing joy to the children.

The educational dossier has been a valuable tool for the teachers and facilitators who used it, in addition to conducting photo analysis and creative writing workshops.

The feedback has been unanimously positive. The project is described as interesting, fun, and necessary for addressing issues of discrimination, inequalities, and other current topics.
