After British Prime Minister Keir Starmer supported plans to show Netflix's series in British high schools, France decided to follow this example. As Born stated yesterday, the miniseries will be shown starting from the college level.
In an interview with the LCI news channel, Born explained that the series' producer "transferred the rights to us," and the Ministry of Education, in this regard, intends to "offer young people five educational lessons based on this series."
The excerpts from Adolescence, which were already demonstrated in British schools to stimulate discussions and "prevent boys from being drawn into the whirlpool of hatred and misogyny," according to Born, "clearly show the violence that can exist among young people."
The goal is to raise awareness of the problem of "excess screen time and normalization of violence on social networks," as well as the spread of masculist theories and misogyny, the minister noted.
The four-part series tells the story of a father experiencing the consequences of his 13-year-old son being suspected of killing a classmate.
"We are trying to look into the problem," he added. "We don't say that everything is one thing or another. We say that it concerns boys.
