Description of the event:
The participants were high school students from technical and professional schools, from 15 to 19 years old. There were more than 300 participants. The event was organized by physical education teachers, school directors and people from sport organizations.

The “RenaSup Aquitaine Challenge” was divided into two major parts:
  • Firstly, an obstacle course event took place in the morning. There was no armband or chronometer. The aim was for the teams to progress together and to pull together to finish the obstacle course. It consisted in a race with different obstacles. At the end of the course, a “Challenge Not Only Fair Play” was offered to the school which was the most represented.
  • Then, in the afternoon, a second race took place. Among the teams of the 1st race, one or two teams per school could compete. To win this challenge, the members had to be efficient and cohesive.

This event was mostly based upon the idea that sport isn’t only synonym of competition and winning. Indeed, the organizers wanted to promote an ethical approach to sport: no competition, no chronometer, no individual medal. Only teams and mutual aid. The teams were also a way to include students who are not particularly good at sport. The teams had to finish the obstacle course together, hand-in-hand.

Different toolkits were used to organise the event:
  • Promotion of an ethical approach to sport
  • Coexistence between sport and school
  • Sport and social inclusion
