Short films & skateboard workshop

The 23rd edition of the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights will take place from 7th to 16th March, 2025.

Every year, young refugees arrive in Geneva, often alone and without any form of support. For them, skateboarding can become a powerful tool for inclusion. This event will feature film screenings, an introductory workshop and skate demonstrations.
