Rythmes scolaires à Paris : Et si on partait de l'enfant ?

4 days or 4,5 days? The question is relaunched in Paris in a serious context: dysfunctions and violence revealed in the extracurricular. The debate on the school week will be played in the school councils, but it asks another question: how to articulate the school, extracurricular and extracurricular time to respect the rhythms of the child, promote his learning and preserve time for rest, play, sport and culture?

On this subject, several points of view are expressed, and all are legitimate: the working conditions of teachers, the fatigue of children, the inequalities of access to activities, the constraints of organization and means. To move forward, we must hear them and put them in dialogue, with a common point of reference: the real needs of the child.

With:

Louise Tourret, journalist, producer and author of several books and articles on the issues of school and education, will animate the debate.

Aziz Jellab, sociologist of education and inspector general of education, sport and research. A specialist in school inequalities and educational relations, he co-directed with Christophe Marsollier the book Benevolence and well-being at school: for a human and demanding school. Her work questions professional practices, the functioning of institutions and the conditions necessary for an educational environment that is protective and conducive to learning.

Grégoire Borst, Professor of Developmental Psychology and Cognitive Neurosciences of Education, Director of Laboratoire de Psychologie du Développement and Child Education (CNRS). Author of more than 70 scientific articles and teaching books, including The brain and learning, he works closely with all stakeholders in education.

Ernest Calberg-Ellen, 14 years old, member of the junior association created by former participants in the Convention citoyenne on the times of the child, to continue to bring the project to the local level.

A participant of the Convention citoyenne on the child's time and member of the Convention Citoyenne Association on the child's time.

A teacher.

On the agenda:

Cross-talk, a question and answer time animated by Louise Tourret, then an exchange with the public. The ambition: to make this evening a time of collective work, capable of illuminating the choices to come.

A kids corner to come with your family:

While you are watching the debate in the amphitheater, your children are welcomed in a nearby classroom, supervised by professional animators. On the program: different activities according to their age and their desires, so that they too have a good time. Remember to indicate the number of children when you register.

The organizers: FCPE Paris, CDAFAL Paris, the Association of the Convention citoyenne on the times of the child and the Fédération de Paris of the League of Education, co-signatories of the forum published in Libération on 10 September 2026
