last Thursday the general and technological high school Henri Matisse has transformed. Project launched internally in February 2024, the day “dream day” was the culmination of long months of preparation. The concept is simple: one day to make the students of the establishment dream. On the program, unforgettable meetings, improbable activities but above all a moment that will be a date in the high school. From 8 am, the students were welcomed by a hedge of teachers acclaiming them and a bandas to set the tone for this day. Among the speakers there were many musicians, florists, graffiti artists, dancers, photographers, big names in sport like Benjamin Bertrand, hopeful player of the Toulouse stadium but also aircraft pilots and other teacher-researchers to perfect the whole. Students had the right to flight simulations, initiations to graffiti and even tightrope walking. Combining different shows, participatory activities and conferences, the day ended with the performance of a DJ which ignited the courtyard of the establishment. The last time this project was carried out was in 2014. “It feels good, a little life in the establishment” confides a teacher. Indeed, since the COVID, activities of this type have struggled to resume in the establishments but this time it is the right one. “I hope that projects of this type will spread everywhere else” slips a speaker.
