#cine is an association of cinephiles. Its main mission is to offer film screenings specially designed for teenagers. Once a month #cine entrusts the organisation of film events to teams of highly motivated young people. Each team takes over a cinema or festival to present - in previews or special screenings - a film around which it has designed an original event. From the selection of films, to the design, communication, organization and animation of events, it is the young people of the #cine teams who are in charge of each stage.

The concept? Discover the best of cinema at an affordable price and have a great time at the same time!

SOS MEDITERRANEE is a maritime and humanitarian organisation that rescues people in distress at sea. It was founded in 2015 by European citizens wishing to take action in response to the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean and it launched rescue operations in the central Mediterranean in February 2016. For almost 10 years now, the organisation has provided assistance to more than 40,000 people and is fighting to ensure that international maritime law is respected and applied. The law requires that all those in distress at sea must be rescued and brought to a safe place of disembarkation. The non-profit, neutral and non-political organisation is based in Switzerland, France, Germany and Italy. It is almost exclusively funded by donations. Winner of the Right Livelihood Award 2023, often regarded as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize, SOS MEDITERRANEE needs everyone's help to continue saving lives.

PVA-Genève is an association wanted and created by people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones in 1992. It is active in the prevention and fight against HIV/AIDS and STIs through its actions and in particular through testimonies from young people. The real pride of our association is our “Projet Témoignages” ("Testimonial Project”). We respond to requests from schools, which feel the need to provide their pupils with more information about HIV and STIs, and we take part in various events to raise awareness among the population of Geneva. Meeting people, interact and chat with them, and getting to know them is the best way of breaking down prejudice and stigmatisation!
This project is made possible by the courage of some of our members who, trained in testimonial and prevention work, lend their faces and their life stories to bring out our messages of prevention and the fight against stigma. This project gave rise to the short film "Pilules Vidéos" in 2018 and the comic strip "Histoires en Pilules" in 2019.
