THE PUPILS AND APPRENTICES FROM
PROVENCE-ALPES-CÔTE D’AZUR AT BABEL MED MUSIC
On the 21st and 22nd March, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regional council, – the main sponsor for Babel Med Music – the Aix-Marseilles Education Authority and Latinissimo, are organising events to introduce the world of entertainment to pupils and apprentices. They will follow each step of the creative process and of the music production and will attend a concert, followed by debates with the performing artists.
360 pupils and apprentices from 12 schools around Marseilles will take part in these two half-day events :
On Thursday 21st March, the following schools will attend: The Bonneveine-CFA catering school, the vocational training schools Saint-Vincent de Paul and Denis Diderot, and the technical schools Edmond Rostand, La Cabucelle and Frédéric Mistral.
On Friday 22nd March, the vocational training schools Victor Hugo, Léonard de Vinci, La Viste, Saint-Louis, and René Caillié will attend.
The timetable for the two dates is :
9.00am-9.50am: a light meal will be provided at the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region stand, courtesy of the pupils from the Service and Bakery sections of the Bonneveine catering school in Marseilles.
9.50-10.00am: Introduction of the “The world is at home” project by the Arts and Culture department. The project revolves around World Music and Dance in the PACA Region.
10am-10.10am : Latinissimo will introduce the forum – what it is about, the professionals of the music world, the aims of the forum...
10.10am-10.20 : ARCADE will introduce the careers of the music world.
10.20am-10.30am : the Arts and Culture Department will hold a presentation around the subject of hearing damage, during which the prevention device named «Trop puissant» will be demonstrated.

As well as financial contributions towards the construction, rehabilitation and facilities for schools and CFAs* in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the Regional Council is putting in place several support structures to help young people decide on a career path and to help them access cultural and artistic activities. For instance at the Avignon Festival and in the Film industry.
*CFA = a professional school where pupils receive a small salary equivalent to the minimum wage and where the training given is specific to the industry they will work in when qualified. Strong links between the school and the professional world.
