School Contests

Kicking off this back to school season; la rentrée, take advantage of a series of contests inviting students and French learners to immerse themselves in a vibrant learning journey that delves deeper into the realm of Olympism. Alongside our valued partners, we have organized three contest, each complemented by enriching pedagogical resources. Explore below how your school and students can actively participate.

A la une : Sports Headline Contest

Participants are encouraged to choose a sports photograph and create an engaging title that reflects the unique style of L’Equipe, the esteemed French sports newspaper. To support and inspire participants, we invite all educators to utilize the accompanying workbook, which offers front-page templates from well-known sports publications like CLEMI and CNOSF

This contest provides an opportunity for creative expression and the exploration of sports journalism. Upon completing the following form HERE, beginning September 8th, in celebration of the 2023 Rugby World Cup opening ceremony, teachers will receive, via email, access to the workbook.
