FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2025 – ARLETTY CULTURAL CENTER 9:30 a.m. – Welcome to the Arletty Room 9:45 a.m. – Welcome to participants by Tibault GROLLEMUND, Mayor of Le Palais. 10 a.m. – Opening address by Caroline NISAND, Director of Youth Judicial Protection, Ministry of Justice (subject to confirmation). 10:30 a.m. From the 1791 Penal Code to the new Code of Criminal Justice for Juveniles by Mathias GARDET, historian at the Institute of Contemporary History, head of the "Children in Justice" Exhibition Center in Savigny-sur-Orge (National School for the Judicial Protection of Youth, ENPJJ) Since the French Revolution and the recognition of a specific justice system for the youngest among us, notably establishing a "minority excuse," the history of juvenile justice seems subject to major pendulum movements, which emphasize, over time, the desire to protect the young person or the desire to protect society. Thus, public policies alternate between the temptation to punish and that of educating, with varying degrees of emphasis. Today's stage: a desire to further tighten justice for minors and their parents. Conference followed by a discussion with the public. 11:30 a.m. Haute-Boulogne, a historic site dedicated to youth, by Francis VILLADIER and Sylvaine VILLENEUVE, from the La Colonie association. Presentation of the project for a historic center dedicated to young wards of the penal colony and the IPES. 12 p.m. Signing of the new multi-year agreement between the Ministry of Justice (Directorate of the Judicial Protection of Youth) and the La Colonie association. 2 p.m. Juvenile delinquency in cinema, by Roxane HAMERY, professor of film studies in the Department of Performing Arts, University of Rennes 2. From Lost Dog Without a Collar with Jean Gabin as a juvenile judge in the 1950s, to Standing Tall, this time with Catherine Deneuve in the role of the judge, French cinema often evokes juvenile justice. Juvenile judges and young offenders produce remarkable fictional figures. What view does cinema take of these young people? How are the figures of delinquent children evolving in cinema? What do these images tell us about society and how it perceives its turbulent and delinquent youth? Conference followed by a discussion with the public. Screening of the trailer for the exhibition "Children's Justice in the Cinema." 4 p.m. On the side of the "bad girls," a history of the placement of young girls by Véronique BLANCHARD, doctor of history, lecturer-researcher at the University of Angers, and David NIGET, lecturer-researcher in history at the University of Angers / Temos Laboratory. In the 20th century, the penal colony and the IPES of Belle-Ile only accepted boys. But how were young girls considered deviant or delinquent treated? In which establishments were they placed? What were the rules that organized their daily lives in institutions, very often run by religious congregations, responsible for putting these "bad girls" back on the right path? The historians' presentation will be enriched by the testimonies of people who rebelled against the institutions. The voices of these "invisible" people will be restored by actresses. Conference followed by a discussion with the public. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2025 CHILDREN'S JUSTICE MAKES ITS CINEMA!
