“Focused on commitment, citizenship, and memory, defense classes are gaining popularity in Vendée schools. Today there are ten classes that came together on Tuesday in Les Herbiers for several workshops with the army, the SDIS, and road safety prevention,” stated Lieutenant-Colonel Guillaume Outtier, assistant departmental military delegate. He emphasized that the goal is not recruitment but rather a better understanding of defense-related professions. Approximately a hundred adolescents, all enrolled in defense classes in Vendée, gathered in Les Herbiers to discover and better understand the roles of certain army regiments, the SDIS, and road safety prevention. “These are truly classes where we work on commitment, citizenship, and memory,” explained Chantal Mouton, a history and geography teacher at Arnaud Beltrame College in Luçon. Quite a program.
