Commitment
Part of France Médias Monde daily activities is to ensure an educational mission. With the current pandemic, this commitment has been further enhanced in order to provide pedagogic continuity and to support students, teachers and families.
France Médias Monde takes part in the national educational initiative "Nation Apprenante" launched by the French Ministry of Education, putting forward editorial content linked with school programs. The group has also continued its cooperation with LUMNI, an educational platform by the French public broadcasting sector and institutions like the Agency for French education abroad (AEFE). Furthermore, France Médias Monde dedicated some of its programs to distance learning such as "l’Ecole à la radio" on RFI, a daily program that aims to provide basic knowledge to young students and their families as a support after school closures. Part of it is also an online quiz called "What about Covid?" (Quid du Covid) on France 24.
All these resources are available on the website RFI Savoirs that gathers a large amount of resources to learn French and to improve its knowledge in various fields (history, geography, economy….).
