Anne Cordier, researcher: 'High school and university students flood social media with scenes of joy, hope and solidarity'

In France, high school protests have gained significant online traction, with students criticizing mainstream media for focusing on violence rather than their messages. Researchers note that students are using social media to share positive narratives and counter the negative portrayal by traditional outlets. Videos showcasing joy, solidarity, and cultural references have flooded platforms, highlighting the students' perspective and demands. This shift illustrates how young people are reclaiming their narrative through digital means.
