21st PriMed – Special report
The award winners – More than 2,500 6th formers involved in PriMed
1,000 members of the public vote for the Audience Award – The award ceremony itself
Hosted by Laurent Menel, the 21st PriMed’s awards ceremony was on Friday, November 24th at the Villa Méditerranée.
A true celebration of the Mediterranean, the event was interspersed with highlights such as the 6th form students presenting the Averroes Junior Award to the director of ALGER, THE MECCA OF REVOLUTIONARIES (1962-1974), Manon Loizeau’s moving speech as she paid her respects to the Syrian women raped in Assad’s prisons, or the frenzied performance of Radio Babel‘s musicians.
A look back in images at an evening full of good feeling.
