Young people from the MECS Les Terres Rouges in Clermont-l’Hérault have created Mémoire de l’Esclavage, a digital newspaper that is free and accessible to all. The project aims to make young people active participants in sharing and preserving history. By creating this resource, the students are contributing to a broader educational effort to raise awareness about the history of slavery and its lasting impacts.
Since June 2026, the two booklets that make up Mémoire de l’Esclavage have been circulating in metropolitan France and in several overseas territories, as well as in Spain and Canada. The resource has been notably referenced on Educadroit by the Defender of Rights, a French institution that promotes the rights of children and young people. This recognition highlights the project's significance in the educational and legal spheres.
The digital newspaper has already recorded more than 2,000 consultations, showing its popularity and relevance among educators and students. The two booklets can be freely used and shared in the classroom, making them a valuable tool for teachers looking to incorporate diverse perspectives into their lessons.
