Over the course of a weekend, the International Journalism Festival transforms the village of Couthures-sur-Garonne and its 300 inhabitants into a vibrant hub for meetings and debates. Workshops, live performances, and film screenings shape the life of the village around a central theme: current affairs and journalism. At the heart of the event, the international workcamp adds a strong intercultural dimension, encouraging artistic and intergenerational exchanges. Sponsored by the Le Monde group and set in an exceptional natural environment, this festival combines critical reflection, sharing, and conviviality.
