The leading young people’s autumn event,
from Wednesday 3 September to Saturday 13 september 2008.

For the fifth year, the Rencontres d’Arles is offering school pupils a free, day-long introduction to images in all their forms and Arles’ rich cultural heritage.

In 2007, some 7,300 lower and upper secondary school pupils, (230 classes) from the Aix-Marseille, Nice and Montpellier areas have already experienced this strand of the festival.

The ten activities on offer give teachers the freedom to concoct an à la carte, cross-disciplinary and interactive programme with support from the scheme’s staff including: introductions to reading images, screenings, platform events with photographers, round-town discovery itineraries, and tours of exhibitions and emblematic monuments.
