Kina, 15 « faut pas se forcer quoi »
✨Beautiful chimera, still ! « no struggles with teens ».
The mediation and prevention team created this collective for the girls, once again based on voluntary. During those days and before a maraude, some classics, yet serious topics are brought to the table. These discussions quickly helped them turn the button off some quarrels and begin truly listening to one another (on separate groupe), perhaps touching on something they deeply miss. Having been exposed to family difficulties, health issues, sexual violence, or risky behavior, Anaïs, Rehianna, Rihanna, Kina, and Sheryne are now seeking peace and trying to rebuild their social connections, their sense of integrity, and, most often, their self-esteem. Girls showed a great deal of humor and gentleness, very smily yet shy for some, also quite argumentative at times and sometimes body language emerged when words felt insufficient—when they were unsure which words would be most accurate to assert themselves… or to rebel.

Jumping on some gossip moment by the end of the day for those four teenagers who volunteer by creating the collectif. #Talant #Mediation #blackandwhitephotography

The five boys finally had a break and went outside to get some fresh air after two hours of focusing on a new creative painting task, and here is Mathys, 14 yo, watching a fight between two of them…

“No struggles with teens”. Arhhh beautiful chimera ✨
A few months ago, educators from Médiation et Prévention Dijon in France — who support local teens facing complex challenges like social, educational, or health struggles — proposed forming a collective with young people. Five of them volunteered, and I was invited to come and meet them. Adam, Mehdi, Misha, Manassé and Mathys come from différent area around Dijon, and decided together to jump in this adventure.
They are what teens often are: sensitive, shy, playful, curious, easily hurt, on their phones, and often feeling misunderstood. But they are also incredibly resilient and ready — all set to create, to share, and to push themselves beyond their problems, even if only for a short moment.
In this space, integration isn’t just a goal — it’s a process of growth, collaboration, and transformation. The educators are also closely connected to the parents, working with them to better understand the teenagers — and helping the teenagers to understand themselves. #waytounderstand
