What is Newsround?

Newsround is the best opportunity to discover what your colleagues do, through a dynamic session : 3-minute presentations will be made by participants who have been selected before the meeting; they can use this time to present themselves, their project or their organisation. You shouldn't miss this session if you want to learn more about what is going on in other countries and meet colleagues, who might be your future project-partners!

Père Courage (France): 'Père Courage' is like a sturdy horse with iron flanks. Powered by a thermal energy, he pounds the towns and countryside from East to West with his steely hooves. As if in a travel journal, he delicately plucks his meetings with imaginary characters from the various territories around Europe. He tells their human saga with his wise animal gaze. Both believers and people who doubt seem to find courage in the rhythm of his steps. Does being close to this raw animal power allow mankind to escape its own animal nature?
