Students from the TALM Higher School of Art and Design in Angers (Maine-et-Loire) have occupied the premises of the establishment every evening for a month to protest against the increase in registration fees. “We are asking for the withdrawal of this measure, which penalizes us,” say Val, 23, and Raphaëlle, 20, who co-lead communication around the fight.

Between now and the start of the 2026 school year, level 3 scholarship recipients will pay an additional 200 euros in stages.
