Sharing knowledge
Vivendi has defined the sharing of knowledge as one of its major specific issues because the responsibility of a leading communications group is defined first of all in terms of its “intellectual footprint” – that is, the manner in which it contributes to encouraging openness of the mind and the satisfaction of all its audiences. Vivendi is particularly vigilant regarding its core business: producing pluralistic, quality content; raising awareness of sustainable development; encouraging exchange and openness towards others; facilitating access to the new information and communication technologies.

September 21st: The International Day of Peace
Vivendi joins with Canal+ Group in promoting the evening of special programming to Canal+ subscribers on International Day of Peace, September 21st 2009. For this special occasion Canal+ presented an exclusive broadcast of the animated film Waltz with Bashir, directed by Ari Folman. This film, which won the 2009 César for best foreign film, has been followed by Jeremy Gilley’s documentary The Day After Peace, which recounts his struggle over 10 years to mobilize governments and international organizations in support of the idea of an annual day of ceasefire and non-violence. The evening closed with a re-broadcast of the special concert presented on September 19th 2009 for the 10th anniversary of the Peace One Day Association, featuring Lenny Kravitz, Ayo, Olivia Ruiz, Keziah Jones, Charlie Winston, as well as the association’s ambassador in France, Elsa Zylberstein.
