LTA-Learning&Training Activities - France
The 3rd exchange (LTA) of the Erasmus+ iCulture project took place in St. Louis, Reunion Island, from November 28th until December 2nd.
After an introduction by the Headmistress of Lycée Antoine Roussin and the presentation of the week plan, a little Icebreaker allowed the students to get to know each other. A tour of the city of Saint-Louis and some emblematic locations ended the morning.
In the afternoon, the students presented videos or slideshows on a theatrical icon of their country, then on a traditional song with explanations. Finally, they wrote the lyrics of four songs related to the themes raised by their cultural contribution.
Tuesday was the day dedicated to the discovery of the volcano, passing by the viewpoint of Nez de Bœuf, a descent into the enclosure, finished by a visit to the museum «Cité du Volcan».
On Wednesday morning, the students participated in a first workshop on writing a «board game» type scene. They had to invent a complete scene, based on improvisation, and then discussed and improved together as they went along.
A recreational afternoon under the sun allowed those who wished to go snorkeling in the lagoon of Saint-Pierre to enjoy beautiful sightings of fish and corals.
Along came Thursday, and it was a big day of work. In the morning, it was the continuation of the workshop of the day before, but with the objective of finishing the scene and filming it. In the afternoon, the students edited the videos of this scene.
A little surprise awaited them at the end of the day, with karaoke (and we’re not going to hide that most of them loved this part!).
At end the week, on Friday morning, the whole group was able to enjoy a superb view of Cilaos from the «La fenêtre (window) des Makes» before doing some exercise in the trees: «accrobranche» at Les Makes.
At the end of the afternoon, the Portuguese and the Poles had to prepare for their return (plane the same evening) while the other students discovered the videos of the day before and ended by participating in a brainstorming «highlights/what they liked or disliked of the week».
When Saturday came, it was the turn of the Italians and Norwegians to go home…
