France has a new program for young people. It is a military program. It is for 18 and 19 year olds. It is not a must. It is a choice.
The program is for 10 months. Young people get 800 euros every month. It starts next summer. First, 3,000 young people will join.
The president says the world is not safe. This program helps France get ready. It also helps young people learn new things.
Other countries in Europe have similar programs. France wants more people to know about the army. The army leaders like this new idea.
