news within reach of children

Cultural ideas to devour, an old instrument that comes back to life and advice for talking about love: this is the program for “Salut l’info!” for the kids this week.

Every week, the “Hi news!” podcast. tells the news to children (7-11 years old), a production of Franceinfo radio and Astrapi magazine. The children speak throughout the show: to comment on current events, ask questions, ask for advice or even tell jokes! To co-present this week’s episode, the show welcomes Tomás, 8 years old, a BMX fan.

The news is first and foremost the conflict between Hamas and Israel which has lasted for four months. On Wednesday February 7, President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the French victims of the October 7 attack in Israel, the starting point of the war between this country and Hamas. The opportunity to take stock of the situation on the ground, particularly in the Gaza Strip.

We also mention the death of Robert Badinter, former Minister of Justice and architect of the abolition of the death penalty, at the age of 95.

Le Quart d’heure Actu: a weekly ritual to learn how to stay informed

To launch you into the adventure of media education in cycles 2 and 3, we provide you, every week, with a new episode of “Quart d’heure Actu”. This sequence of three brief audio extracts from the podcast “Salut l’info!” allows you to establish a short and fun weekly information ritual in class.

Declare your love… Perhaps without return

In our “We tell each other everything” section, Juliette talks to us about love and that’s good because it’s almost Valentine’s Day. We called on a psychologist to help him cope better with this situation.
