A few months before the presidential election, what do the young people of our country think? What are their dreams, their aspirations, their fears? What does their daily life look like? What is their perspective on the campaign and the upcoming election? Who are the 15-25 year olds really? You have to go out to meet them, question them, listen to them. Far from clichés, give a voice to this generation too often described as sacrificed, irresponsible or disenchanted.
Transidentity in high school
Podcast Make way for young people aims to highlight French youth in all its diversity, through interviews with young people under 25. For this second episode, interview with Valentin, 17 years old. He lives in an old logging house in Chéronvilliers, a hamlet of 520 inhabitants in the Eure, in the heart of this Normandy which is neither that of the sea, nor that of the holidays. When we manage to reach each other despite telephone network problems, Valentin and I chat for more than an hour without going over the subjects that we could discuss together today.
We agree to talk about his transidentity and the personal and militant journey he embarked on so that Océane, a little girl, then a teenager long described as a tomboy, gives way to Valentin, entirely turned towards the future. But we will also talk about leaving, love stories and tattoos.
An interview with Salomé Berlioux, founder and managing director of the Chemins d’avenirs association, which supports several thousand young people in building their academic, professional and civic career. This podcast is broadcast in partnership with 20 minutes, West France and the Jean-Jaurès Foundation.
