The schoolchildren from Agen won a national competition: they are going to meet the Blues of Mbappé for two days.
It is a list of 18 children which was as much awaited in Aveyron as that of the 23 Blues for Euro-2024 of a certain Didier Deschamps. And if the officialization by the French football federation must take place this Friday, the information has already reached the Aveyron Football District yesterday: the Saint-Joseph d’Agen school won the national competition of “Football at school” program! As a result, the multilevel CE-CM class of teacher Adeline Creyssels is invited to spend June 6 and 7 at Clairefontaine, the temple of French football, on the sidelines of the Blues’ preparation for the Euro. Exceptional!
Because the stars of the French team should all be there, Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé… And the little Agentols will spend a night close to these football stars since the program of this immersion provides for a start at 12 p.m. on Thursday, and departure the next day at 2 p.m. “Frankly, their works are magnificent, I am confident!”declared Candy Evrard-Roumec, responsible in Aveyron, for the District, of the federal educational program “Foot at school”, a few weeks ago in our columns, when she had the pleasure of seeing two schools of the department, which is only a few kilometers apart from each other, Saint-Joseph, in Agen, and the public school of Gages, being winners of the departmental and then regional competitions (Toulouse academy).
Indeed, initially, 31 Aveyron schools participated in this program, including a cycle of six football sessions at school, but also an artistic component on the theme “when football meets the Olympic and Paralympic Games”.
Gages 3rd nationally in the “dynamic” competition
“We had the choice between creating a static or dynamic workexplained the agentole teacher. The children then chose to make a model representing a papier-mâché balloon placed on a field. Ball topped with the Olympic flame from which an alphabet book unfolds with definitions of their own compositions in the sporting field but also values such as inclusion, solidarity, tolerance…” A short distance away, it was via a video that the little Gageois also won the Aveyron and regional bid, therefore dynamically.
The meeting of the national jury, in Paris, in recent days, therefore dedicated the Agen model, and ranked 3rd the video of the schoolchildren from Gages.
