As part of the "Rencontres du F.Et.E", we are delighted to announce the screening of the documentary "Même si tu vas sur la lune" (1h33), directed by Laurent Rodriguez,

About the film: Shot over a period of 6 years, Laurent Rodriguez's documentary film Même si tu vas sur la lune (1h33) follows the lives of 4 Syrian students in the DU Passerelle programme at Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. Through accounts of their experiences, it tackles the issues of learning French and resuming their studies, exile and identity, and shows the tug-of-war between cultures, identities and countries. It reflects the path taken by students in exile enrolled in all the DU Passerelle programmes, including the one at Paris Nanterre University.

The placement test will assess your level of French. Access to the course you have applied for on ecandidat will depend on your test results. The test will take place online.
The number of DU places is limited to 24. Not all applications will be accepted.

Their names are Frank, Sebitha, Kourosh, Kateryna, Beshr, Masud, Khadidja, Christina, Jones, Tariq, Tasir, Mohamed, Oksana, Melo, Farahmand. They come from Colombia, Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, Congo, Ghana, Iran and Sri Lanka. They are all enrolled in the DU PASSERELLE program at the University of Nanterre to learn French and enter a degree program sometimes, but not always, related to their previous training. Because wandering is not an identity, Aligre FM opens its microphone to them for a week and invites you to listen to the journeys, projects and points of view on life and the world of these men and women from elsewhere. This thematic week is the first part of a project in partnership with Nanterre University's DU PASSERELLE.
