Discovering The Media in Romania for Middle School Students from Aumale



Students from the Henry-Dunant d’Aumale college (Aumale) have returned from four days in Romania as part of the media and information literacy project.

For many, it was their first time on a plane. From May 2 to 6, 2023, 18 fourth-grade students from Henry-Dunant College in Aumale (Seine-Maritime) set off to discover Romania and the city of Brasov .

The college was selected at the start of the school year, along with three other establishments – located in Paris, Romania and Greece – as part of an Erasmus+ project to explore the media and information , with the association Globe Reporters.

Several objectives

During these four days of discovery, the students were not idle. After visiting Bucharest and Dracula’s castle in Bran , the students left for Brasov, where they met the Romanian class participating in the project.

“In addition to cultural enrichment, the trip also had the objective of teaching about the world of media and information ,” explains Stéphane Tombette, professor of history geography at the establishment, one of four teachers involved in the project.

A web TV

The students therefore discovered the media in Romania by visiting a Romanian radio station, Radio România , still based in Brasov. The professor and his schoolchildren are still laughing about it, since they recorded a report… in Romanian . “One of the students interviewed her classmates asking them their impression of the visit,” says the teacher. “The show was even broadcast on their antenna. »

They also met in Bucharest the French journalist Laurent Coudert , in the country for twenty years.

Soon Greece

On site, the students held an Instagram page making short reports on their Romanian epic , as well as writing a few articles, available on the Globe Reporters website. “A web TV is planned at the end of the project, with the creation of a mini studio.

But their European adventure will not stop there. Next year, this same group will leave for Athens, around March. With the same objectives as in Romania, still fully supported by Erasmus + , which is funding this project over two years to the tune of 400,000 euros.
