The Paris Saint-Germain youngsters rally against discrimination

This competition was set up within the Rouge et Bleu academy from the 2019-2020 season in order to develop public speaking, critical thinking and the ability to convince, while raising awareness among young talents of social and news topics.

The final of this fourth edition concluded a five-month preparation period during which workshops allowed the Club's brightest stars to train and perfect their skills.

A THREE-PART PROJECT FOR THE YOUTH ACADEMY

The initiative is a key component of Paris Saint-Germain's three-part project, which is based on the sporting, academic and socio-educational dimensions to support the development and blossoming of the youngsters of the Youth and Pre-Youth Academy, both on and off the pitch.

The performances of the young players from the Youth Academy were unanimously praised by the members of the jury, chaired by Elisabeth Moreno, former minister and member of the Board of Directors of Prométhée Education, as well as Victoriano Melero, Paris Saint-Germain’s General Secretary.
