Mr Olivier MAHEUX, director of cinema programming, programmer for young audiences and fiction, has taken the initiative to propose "young audiences" screenings of the film "La Couleur de la Victoire" for the Van Gogh and Ampère colleges of the city of Arles. A meeting with the school management made it possible to welcome some 400 students between 11 and 12 April and 16 and 17 April.

As part of Olympic and Paralympic Week, the Lycée Français Léon l'Africain in Casablanca organized a meeting on 30 January from 16:00 to 18:00, with Ms Nawal El Moutawakel, Olympic champion and IOC Vice-President, Ms Marie-Cécile, Head of the Regional Economic Service of the French Embassy in Morocco and wife of the French Ambassador to Morocco.

On the recommendations of the CNOSF, and with the support of its institutional partners, the Yvelines Departmental Olympic and Sports Committee actively participated in the promotion of the Paris 2024 bid, by presenting a fun and travelling exhibition on the values and symbols of Olympism. The feature film "La couleur de la victoire", which looks back at the career of African-American athlete Jesse Owens, and the preparations for the 1936 Berlin Games organized by the Nazi regime in power, was also screened.

Look in the same direction, that’s what have done the 250 students from the Meuse region in the movie theatres of Verdun and Bar-le-Duc, contemplating on a tale as overwhelming than interesting: “La couleur de la Victoire”.

The students attended to the screening of the movie “La couleur de la victoire” co-produced by Luc Dayan, which contributes to better interpret yesterday’s and today’s stakes regarding “living together” through Jesse Owens’.
