The "Beyond Screens" challenge, held in Tarascon throughout October, allowed families to question their digital usage and discover alternatives.

Organized by the Maison de Santé du Pays Tarasconnais with financial support from ACCM (as part of the Contrat de Ville) and housing provider Vilogia, this fourth edition offered numerous activities promoting exchange, discovery, and sharing. Children and parents explored new practices and discussed with health and early childhood professionals about the role of screens in daily life.
Among the highlights, conferences led by Véronique Béchu on the theme "Growing Up in the Digital Age: Protecting and Supporting" garnered significant interest, providing concrete guidance for children, adolescents, parents, and professionals in childhood and education.
ACCM's Educational Success Program (PRE) hosted three family workshops. The crèche "Il était une fois" offered simple activities to reduce screen time, EVS Di Nistoun focused on language and family interactions, and the TEEF social center organized a game creation workshop for children aged 6 to 11, proving that fun can be found away from screens.
The event concluded with a festive day bringing together children from the municipal leisure center in Tarascon and those from Di Nistoun. Each participant received a booklet of games and activities to continue the experience at home.
Year after year, the "Beyond Screens" challenge mobilizes an increasing number of families, establishing itself as a key autumn event in Tarascon through its combination of prevention, awareness, and shared moments.
