FR25 TD Farewell Party

In the Hall of the lycée Jean Bart, involved students from College Boris Vian, our Lycee with their parents and teachers were welcome.

The pupils who had participated in projects and Erasmus classes gave a speech talking about their experiences during Erasmus’ projects. 

After the principal’s and coordinator speeches about the importance of Erasmus+ a party took place. We tasted typical food of the region, and share good moments with music. A buffet of salt and sweet pies was served and was followed by a party with a DJ.

This moment was really delightful, every student worked hard during the week especially with many communication, every present person learned a lot about different systems, schools, cultures and each one could pick up some good ideas to increase our education. 

The surprise was to have a live band concert about carnival and enjoy 30 minutes of our traditional carnival in the hall of the lycee.

The farewell dinner was very emotional, warm hearted and generous. The students spent last moments with their friends and had a good time. They took a lot of pictures and videos, to remember the learning mobility in Dunkirk. They all felt well in hosting families and their knowledge about history, geography and culture of France. At the end of a week full of activities and visits what remains is a learning experience based on trust, friendship and respect for others, in addition to cultural and social learning. It’s always important that the students bear in mind that to contribute to solidarity and mutual respect between peoples  will help to build a strong and peaceful Europe. Together we are stronger!

All involved (students, teachers and parents) in the project could feel not only an informative but also a sparkling finale of the week. Everybody was informed by the French students about their trips to the other countries and finally we could all celebrate by eating and dancing, a very appreciated finale. A great opportunity to promote friendship, citizenship and equality. The party was great and everybody enjoyed it… especially around the live band music.
