Young people from Lavelanet continue their film project with sports celebrities

Lavelanet Youth Space is very active in organizing actions against the environment, online harassment, values ​​and ethics in sports, tolerance, the fight against all forms of discrimination, living together. So this year the project is based on the production of a film that will reveal interviews, micro-reportages about elected officials and sports celebrities to whom young people ask various questions, including questions about the differences between women and men in sports.

Thus, after Lavelanetian Kamel Chibli, regional vice-president, Ariégeoises Perrine Laffont, Olympic champion, and Charlène Laur, high-level judge, who took the detour to the premises of the youth area, in Lavelanet, Valentine Badiano, French BMX champion, three players from Stade Toulousein responded each to questions from Sélia, Corentin and Adrien, as they arrived at the Paul Bergère stadium for off-site training.

With strict rules. “Everything was organized with Lorène, press officer for Stade Toulouse. There were agreements to respect,” explains Karine Tolosa, head of the youth area, “each young person could only ask a player one question.”

Upstream work has been carried out. After training, at autograph time, the trio of young people, impressed but determined, asked very specific questions about the values ​​of the sport, surprising the selected Toulouse players, François Cros, with their diversity, Santiago Chonobarès and Kalvin Gourgues.

Other interviews are planned. It is still a long-term project. Ultimately, the film will be produced and presented at secondary schools and upper secondary schools in Lavelanet. Raising awareness through sport, and also disabled sport, is still a strong theme in the youth field. We could see this during the football World Cup with the organization of the broadcast of two matches on Dekket market and the operation of a stand selling non-alcoholic beverages. Proof also with the “Common Ground” action, which returns in June, a project organized by the youth room and its facilitators, with the aim of bringing young people together around sports with, as a backdrop, living it together and the fight against incivility, doping, respect for the rules, fair play.
