That’s it! The clicks finally happened in France. Although we learned in April last year that British Prime Minister Kayr Starmer’s decision has released a mini-ad-ads mini-series in the country schools, France has finally decided to do the same.
Indeed, Interview with LCI, French Minister of Education, Elizabeth Bourne, has announced that adolescence series can also be used as educational assistance in French classes. Recall that the minister first opposed this idea after the UK initiative.
We are mobilized for the mental health of our young people!
From 4ᵉ, teachers will be able to rely on 5 sequences of series #Adolescence.

It is necessary to remember it, but is this series that passes on Netflix is a true social phenomenon? This shows the insult of men’s content to young people and aims to raise young people – but also to raise awareness of adults – about the dangers of excessive use of social networks, James (Owen Cooper), 13 years old, who died after her classmate was oppressed.
However, French students will not see the series as a whole. The Minister explained that the institutions were “offering five educational sequences to young people in this series.” These are fourth grade students.
Adolescence: an educational remedy
This initiative is part of the context where the series has already led to a sensation in the United Kingdom, where Prime Minister Kir Starmer has decided to move it to secondary schools for free. The goal is to help teens better understand violence, mistakes, and interactions on social networks, which increases the subject of concerns about parents and teachers.
But they realize the problem “Screens exaggerate and trivialize violence on these social networks“Explains Elizabeth Bork.
In support of this project, a petition has begun in France. Did this weigh the Minister’s decision?
Social influence
Adolescence appeals to delicate subjects, such as the epidemic of killing the Danes committed by young boys in the UK. He noted the real debate of children’s protection against the background of online toxic content. Kir Starmer welcomed the representatives of charity organizations to discuss these issues, emphasizing the importance of adapted education in the fight against radicalization and violence.
The impact of the series goes beyond the screen; It aims to encourage the discussions between students and teachers when forgetting parents, as psychologist Sandra Owaknin explains in the video above, enabling them to approach the main public issues. The creators of the series, Steven Graham and Jack Thorn, hope that this broadcasting in schools will help young people exchange and reflect these decisive questions. And we too.
