This operation is part of a broader context where the fight against homophobia was included for the first time in the circular reentry of Education.

The contest, launched yesterday by Madam Minister Roselyne Bachelot, is open to people aged 16 to 30 years and aims to allow the expression of young people who often can not live their situation in silence and isolation.

Participants have until Dec. 2 to file their scenarios on the site www.leregarddesautres.fr
