On Thursday, March 26, pupils from the FLSco programme and their families gathered for the 4th edition of the International Breakfast, organised as part of the Languages Week.
From the early morning, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful. Gradually, the tables filled with dishes from different countries, carefully prepared by the children and their families. Sweet and savoury foods, hot and refreshing drinks – this breakfast offered a chance to discover traditions from around the world while enjoying time together.
Beyond the pleasure of tasting and sharing food, the event also had a strong educational purpose. It gave students the opportunity to highlight their home language, their background and their cultural traditions. This is precisely the aim of the FLSco programme: to support children in finding their place within the French school system while respecting and encouraging the richness of their individual journeys.
One particularly appreciated moment was the musical sharing: each child was invited to present a song in their own language. The different melodies created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, filled with curiosity and attentive listening.
Events like this strengthen the connection between school and families, build trust and remind us that diversity is a strength for the entire school community. Thanks to the dedication of the two FLSco teachers, this gathering has become a valued and eagerly awaited event over the years.
A heartfelt thank you to the teachers and all the families for their active participation and enthusiasm.
Because meeting, sharing and learning together remains one of the most meaningful ways to grow.
