Decipher the media

Current affairs workshops

The aim of the workshop “Je lis la presse en ligne” (Reading the press online) is to get your bearings in online content and understand the how the press world is changing with the advent of Internet. In particular, those taking part discover the digital press offer available at the library and learn to use new tools like news aggregators or online kiosks.

The aim of the workshop, “Je repère les fake news” (Spotting fake news) is to pick up reflexes to evaluate online information and find out about the tools that help identify fake news.

These two workshops are part of a digital workshops offer that are freely accessible and free of charge.

An Artistic and cultural education offer is also proposed for school audiences, as part of a national mission.

Cultural events

The Bpi’s cultural activities are reflected in the range and richness of the events it organizes for the public throughout the year, its international ambitions and its innovative search for new ways to showcase its collections. News and current affairs are addressed in a variety of ways.

With regard to journalism and media decoding, the Profession reporter cycle, in partnership with the Prix Albert Londres, gives the floor to professionals in the field of information, text and images, who come to explain their profession and debate with the public; to tell their stories, but also to respond to the questions, doubts and suspicions that sometimes emerge, about their ability to inform objectively and independently.

International order sometimes hangs by a thread. Under the impact of new challenges, whether economic and social, ecological or technological, political balances are shifting, societies and public spaces are fragmenting, and multilateral organizations are struggling to prevent or regulate conflicts. Often, it is the very idea of a common world that seems to be in jeopardy. Can we identify the events that mark some of these global developments? The Bpi and Esprit magazine have joined forces for a series of debates on current events, Le Monde sur un fil, to help us better understand the world ahead.
