Medina. The rapper Médine Zaouiche, whose arrival at the Europe Écologie Les Verts summer universities was the subject of intense controversy, will be present this Saturday, September 16 at the Humanity Day. The event, organized by the eponymous daily close to the Communist Party, takes place from September 15 to 17, and will host, in addition to the rapper, the Belgian singer Angèle, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine and Bigflo and Oli.

Cleaning. Saturday September 16 will be World Cleanup Day. Launched in 2008 in Estonia, it now concerns 153 countries and had, in 2018 (current record), 18 million participants across the globe. In France, Lille chose this date to launch a major cigarette butt collection operation across the city.

Heritage. Like every year, September rhymes with heritage. This Saturday September 16 and Sunday September 17, Europeans could discover many buildings and places traditionally closed to the public (such as the Élysée) while museums will see their prices drop, when they do not adopt free admission.
