An activity for high school students, sponsored by Mehdi Bousaidan!

After its success last year, J’aime les mots is back for a second edition as part of the Journées de la culture. This year, once again, students are invited to express themselves on social media. They can do this by having fun with a cultural phenomenon that has gone viral and involves combining words and images, called memes, and posting them under the #JmLesMots hashtag. On October 30, Mehdi Bousaidan, a comedian and sponsor of the activity, will be online to interact with students and comment on their memes.
