Reaction of Franck FIFE: “I am delighted to have the support of thousands of middle school students, but not surprised that their choice fell on the idol of the “two star” generation. Nobody expected it! When the thunderstorm hit the stadium, none of us were equipped as a result. From memory, it was the first time that I had showered for almost an hour and a half; without interruption.”
Tiziana FABI’s photo showing a seagull holding a cigarette butt in its beak near the Roman Forum in Rome came in second with 12,6% of the vote.
The photo of Ludovic Marin, taken on July 15, 2018 in Paris from the top of the Arch of Triumph (Arc de Triomphe) closes the podium with 9,7% of the votes. It shows people lighting flares as they celebrate after France won the Russia 2018 World Cup final football match against Croatia, on the Champs-Elysees avenue.
If the goal of the device is to allow each student of 3rd to look at the news throughout the world, it is also and above all to take the pulse of a generation that will make the democracy of tomorrow, guarantor of freedom!
