Mobility to France

Day 1

The mobility week began with a welcome speech by the headmaster at Paul Hazard High School. Each school involved in the project then presented its city, educational system, and national context.

An ice-breaker activity followed, helping participants get to know one another. The morning concluded with a tour of Paul Hazard High School, offering insight into the local school environment.

In the afternoon, participants took part in a rally quiz of Lille, prepared and  leaded by French students, learning about its architecture, history, and cultural significance.

Day 2

The day started with an ice-breaking activity to strengthen group cohesion.
This was followed by a presentation of the survey results from the “Against All Odds” project. The students analyzed and compared attitudes and experiences related to risk and decision-making regarding gambling in three countries: Croatia, Finland, and France.

Later, a group of french students presented a mathematical activity based on the Monty Hall problem. The mathematical aspects of the problem help students think critically about probability and choice, so they can better understand gambling and reduce the risk of addiction.

In the afternoon, a workshop was held on the effects of addiction on the brain. Participants also presented posters they had prepared, reflecting their understanding of the topic.

The day ended with a sports challenge leaded by french students, based on the concept of risk assessment and decision-making among students. They learn to make choices between highly risky rewarded strategies and safer less rewarded strategies. 

Day 3

The group took part in an mathematical activity called the Great Elf Game, designed to compute probabilities, develop teamwork and problem-solving skills in order to find the best startegies.

A session on addictions followed, structured as a role-playing game. Through simulated scenarios, participants explored the social and psychological aspects of addiction.

Day 4

Participants visited Xperium, a scientific innovation center, where they explored interactive exhibits and learned about research and technology.

In the afternoon, a game titled “The Gambling Curse” created by a group of french students introduced further discussion on chance, risk, and behavioral patterns. 

The day concluded with a certificate ceremony acknowledging participation in the Erasmus+ project.

Day 5

Participants visited Paris and took part in a guided walking tour covering key historical and cultural landmarks of the city.

In the afternoon, the group toured the Hôtel de la Marine, an 18th-century building showcasing royal decor and historical interiors

 The visit continued with the second part of the walking tour, rounding off the week's activities with a cultural exploration of the French capital.
