This multilingual documentary festival, focused on family, peasant or local farming, focuses on economic, environmental and social transitions.

It supports sustainable agriculture and food systems that respect people, territories and biodiversity in diverse environments and countries around the world.

Each year between mid-October and the end of November, we offer a selection of documentaries and short films to our learners. An evening for interns or for our foreign interns can take place and allow for discussions on food, agriculture or sustainable development in the world.

It is easier to move abroad if:

* The Erasmus project in Georgia

Georgia, the cradle of wine, which has several hundred grape varieties on its territory, is a country very complementary to France in terms of viticulture. An Erasmus partnership with Georgian universities since 2019 is underway to welcome trainees and teacher-researchers to discuss the world of wine and our educational systems.
