Students will begin by sharing their cultures. During the cultural day and market, they will present who they are, where they come from, and what matters to them. It is here that curiosity is sparked, differences are embraced, and respect begins to grow.
They will learn by doing. Whether it’s traditional cooking in Grasse, creative workshops, or collaborative games, learning will take place through real experiences. All hands-on, meaningful, and alive.
Together, they will connect with nature. In the mountains, there will be time to hike, to slow down, and to reflect. Away from the rush of everyday life, space is created for deeper conversations and awareness.
Along the Mediterranean coast, they will explore and care for the world around them. From the Îles de Lérins to the beaches, students will experience the beauty of nature while also understanding their responsibility in protecting it. They will discover new places together. In cities like Nice,Cannes and Grasse, culture, history, and daily life will be explored.
And perhaps most importantly, they will build real friendships. By living with host families and sharing their days, connections will form naturally, across languages, backgrounds, and borders.
At the same time, educators will come together to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen an international network, learning from one another just as much as the students do.
But above all, this week is about something deeper.
It is about students leaving with a broader view of the world, a stronger sense of who they are, and the feeling that they are part of something bigger.
Because in just one week, strangers can become friends and experiences can stay for a lifetime.
