Inspired by the founding program of the National Council of the Resistance, middle schoolers in Haute-Garonne have rewritten a historical text focusing on freedoms, education, and social justice, presenting it today at the Departmental Assembly.

The initiative, led by the Department in partnership with ANACR 31, has allowed middle schoolers to engage in a civic education and memory program. This project draws inspiration from the foundational text written in 1944 by the National Council of the Resistance (CNR).
Following visits to the Departmental Museum of Resistance & Deportation and intergenerational writing workshops led by CDJ volunteers and ANACR members, the young people rewrote the historical text, integrating their contemporary concerns.
The final document, comprising 15 committed articles, addresses three major themes: freedoms and living together, education and the future, as well as social justice, climate, and global challenges.
The presentation of this work within the Departmental Assembly demonstrates the vitality of values such as solidarity, tolerance, and democracy among today's youth, who are proving to be responsible and future-oriented.
