What is Laïcité?00:00:06

Laïcité, or secularism, was established in France on December 9, 1905, with a law that introduced the separation of state and religion. France does not impose or forbid any religion, respecting the beliefs of its inhabitants, who can express their ideas freely while respecting others and the law, fostering peaceful coexistence.

Laïcité and Children00:00:42

Laïcité applies to everyone living in France, including adults and children. To explain its application in schools, a Charter of Laïcité has been displayed in French schools and colleges. This important charter outlines rules for living together harmoniously at school.

Key Principles of the Charter00:01:00

The charter states that no one can be excluded from school due to skin color, religion, or gender. It allows students to express their thoughts while respecting others and prohibits insults, violence, and racist remarks. These simple, essential rules promote well-being for everyone in the country.
