Recognized for 2 years as a Graduate School by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re’s Art and Media Technology Graduate School (ATM)<\/a> has been a partner in the Rolling green<\/a> program since its inception in April 2021. In the fall of 2021, students in the “Set Logistics” course applied for accreditation<\/a> for their semester-long production entitled Soup. This winter 2022, they learned that it was awarded to them with the Excellence level. This is the first Rolling Green accreditation given to a student production.<\/p>\n

The C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re partner of Rolling Green<\/strong><\/p>\n

The C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re became a partner of the Rolling Green program to align itself with the values of its students. “It is natural for our students to respect the environment. Some of them – for example the costume designers – have already integrated eco-responsible gestures by buying the costumes for our productions at thrift stores,” confides Blaise Gagnon, a journalism and radio teacher, coordinator and person in charge of outreach and partnerships at the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure ATM.<\/p>\n

As the ” Propulsing Partner” of Rolling Green, the C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re invested CAD$7500 in money and the equivalent of CAD$7500 in services to support the program. For example, students from the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure ATM will be asked to produce video vignettes for the Quebec film and television Council (QFTC)<\/a> in order to provide better information on eco-responsible actions to be taken on the set. The agreement was validated for a period of 3 years.<\/p>\n

With this partnership, the C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re hopes to increase the influence of its \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure ATM – which has been in place for 55 years in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region – in the Quebec audiovisual sector, which is mainly based in Montreal and Quebec City. It also wishes to better prepare its students for the ecological issues of tomorrow by integrating eco-responsible actions on its sets. “Our young people will thus be aware of the requirements of eco-responsible productions as soon as they enter the job market,” says Blaise Gagnon.<\/p>\n

The “Rolling Green” program studied in the “Tray logistics” course<\/strong><\/p>\n

To better prepare its students, the \u00c9cole sup\u00e9rieure ATM has integrated the study of the values of the Going Green program into its “Stage Logistics” course, supervised by teachers Caroline Gagnon and Guillaume Langlois. The course trains students in location management, among other things. The integration of\u00a0 Rolling Green’s values was done at both the theoretical and practical levels:<\/p>\n

At the theoretical level, students received a class on the importance of being greener on set. Inspired by the Going Green guide, the class addressed how production departments can implement initiatives to be environmentally responsible. The students also met with Caroline Voyer, Executive Director of the Conseil qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois des \u00e9v\u00e9nements \u00e9coresponsables<\/a>, to better understand the requirements of the accreditation and how to apply them to a student production.<\/p>\n

On a practical level, eight students were designated in the fall of 2021 as green set managers for the filming of their semester production. Their mission was to list the green initiatives to be implemented during the production, purchase the necessary materials, relay the information to the film crew members, and check in each morning to make sure the initiatives were implemented on set. They also completed the accreditation application.<\/p>\n

The Rolling Green form<\/a> contains over a hundred criteria. We won’t go through all of them, but among the eco-responsible actions of the Soup production, we can count :<\/p>\n
