Title of the initiative:
Integration day for new Year 11 students
Date of the Event:
September, 16th 2015
Country:
France
City:
Maubeuge
Sport:
Badminton, Basket, Dancing, Table tennis, Volleyball
Aims:
promotion of social inclusion and prevention of early school leaving through sport
Description of the initiatives:
The integration half day gathered more than 300 pupils, including Year 11 students for whom this event was compulsory.

Every Year 11 pupil had to sign up in one of the five following activities : zumba, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, badmington. The students who had sports exemption, with the help of a teacher, had to take care of the organization so the event could go well. The aim was for the new pupils to really feel that they belonged to their new school. A student needs to feel that is part of his/her school.

The students with sports exemption really threw themselves into this organization of the five sporting activities. The sport teacher in charge of each activity could slowly let go and only act as an observer.

The students started with the activity they chose and ended practicing the five proposed activities. That led to the need to communicate, to self-discovery and the discovery of others through different practices.

To conclude, their involvement in the activities helped the teaching staff to understand what sports they needed to set up for the upcoming year.
