Wednesday, the streets of Billonnière were occupied by a shooting for TV Vendee around the wearing of the yellow reflective vest.
The initiative
“The yellow vest with reflective material protects it, but not everything!” The slogan served as a frame for the filming of elected representatives of the Municipal Youth Council (CMJ). The young counselors wrote the script of four sketches. They will play them themselves.
The idea was born last year in the CMJ with social action, during a meeting with the director of the local channel TV Vendee. “We thought why not shoot safety clips designed by the kids themselves? “Tell the supervisors.
The prefecture organizing a week dedicated to yellow vests at the end of October, immediately gave its approval. This action of the center of social action, led by Severna, is supervised by Major Laurence of gendarmerie, the representatives of Code Rousseau, Michel and Alain.
A message carried by young people
The members of the Social Committee are responsible for safety and the TV Vendee team. Laure and Hervey take part in the project. “When ideas come from children, they are better received by young people, they know what they are talking about and have their own experience,” says Major Laurence Lorena.
This Wednesday, filming was mostly on small country roads but next week it will be in the heart of the village, with other dangers to know and avoid. “Sainte-Foy represents the small rural communes. This filming could have been done everywhere in France”, supports Michel.
At the end of the shooting, after broadcasting for a fortnight at the end of October, a yellow vests discount will be given to all the children enrolled in the commune, in the presence of the gendarmerie, with advice to wear them when they take the bus at middle School.
“Teens are balking, but if we give the habit to young children to wear safety clothing, it will become an automatism for them, as today, the seatbelt for motorists. “
