First transnational project meeting for teachers

2-4 December 2019, Denain, France

Between 2^nd December and 4^th December 2019, the Italian coordinator of the project, Mr Alessandro M. T. Pipitone and his colleague Mr Luigi Mascolo, took part in the first transnational project meeting for teachers on behalf of the Istituto Tecnico “G. C. Falco”. The meeting was held in France and was organised by the lead school “Lycée Mousseron – Lycée professionnel André Jurénil”, in Denain, a town located in the northernmost region of France, not far from Lille. The foreign delegation was warmly welcomed by Ms Pascale Grosjean, the headmistress of the French school, and Ms Taoues Benmoussa, the coordinator of the project. In the course of the event the teachers from the schools that participate in the project had the chance to know each other and discussed the objectives and the activities to implement. The programme of the meeting was quite rich. After a tour of the host school, and a visit of the impressive sports facilities used by the students, such as the Jean Degros Sports Complex, the visiting schools met Mr Cedric Fulcheri - one of the P.E. teachers working at Lycée Jurénil - and some students attending the basketball section UNSS of the school. The team of teachers had the chance to watch the training session of two basketball teams: Nationale 2 Escaudain, a high-flying female team, and Denain Voltaire Basket, a professional basketball club that currently plays in the second division championship of France. The meeting included a few work sessions where essential details regarding the project, such as the schedule of the LTT activities and the dissemination of the results, were illustrated and analysed, a day trip to Lille, a first aid simulation and a workshop on the ideal breakfast for athletes.
