J'y suis, j'en suis

J'y suis, j'en suis offers young people from Avignon, Grand Avignon and the surrounding area the chance to discover the Festival d'Avignon through a three to four-day stay without accommodation. It's a chance to experience the Festival in a different way, through a series of shows, workshops and meetings with artists, while sharing moments of conviviality.

Ceméa, in partnership with the Festival d'Avignon, is responsible for the educational and supervisory aspects of the programme.

Centres de jeunes et de séjours du Festival d'Avignon (Ceméa-Cdjsfa) are offering three separate sessions at the Lycée Mistral in Avignon.

Participants can either join a group, accompanied by a teacher from the school, or register individually.

The dates of the 2025 courses:

• Session 1: Friday 3 to Sunday 5 July 2026 for 11 – 15 years old

• Session 2: Tuesday 7 to Friday 10 July 2026 for 13 – 17 years old

• Session 3: Saturday 11 to Monday 13 July 2026 for 15 – 25 year olds

The registration form is available here for individuals and on request from the CDJSFA secretariat for groups, to be returned before Friday 15 May 2026. Further information from Virginie Carletti, Avignon Festival liaison teacher: service.educatif@festival-avignon.com

The Centres de jeunes et de séjours du Festival d’Avignon (Youth centres of the Festival d’Avignon) is an association founded in 1959 by Jean Vilar. Its goal is to make the Festival accessible to youths and adults from France and abroad, alone, in groups, or with their families. It organises stays which allow the participants to experience at once a cultural event and a holiday.  

During the Festival, the CDJSFA focus on two things:  

• community centres open by day to college and secondary school students from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region,

• the organisation of the Workshops of thought on the Louis Pasteur Supramuros Avignon Université.
