Commemoration – 60 years of the Elysée Treaty

Commemoration - 60 years of the Elysée Treaty

On January 22, Germany and France celebrated the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Elysée Treaty.
The 3rd
Deutsch+
created posters to mark the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Elysée Treaty.
In small groups, the students retraced the history of Franco-German relations: on Tuesday, they presented to their fellow students the history leading up to the signing of the Friendship Treaty, the Treaty itself, the Franco-German Youth Office, the Sauzay and Voltaire exchange programs, and the signing of the Treaty of Aachen.
The posters are on display at the Lycée.

This Monday, the 6th grade classes of the
Deutsch+ section
section prepared a presentation of the treaty to explain what it means and how it applies to our daily lives.
They then presented their work to their fellow 6th and 5th grade German-speaking classmates – in German, of course!
The latter also got involved, drafting a 23-question questionnaire on Germany for the students in the
Deutsch+
section were invited to answer.

As part of the
Deutsch+ program
program, some of the 6th graders wrote and presented haikus, very short poems of Japanese origin, celebrating the ephemeral nature of things and the sensations they evoke.
Each poem was accompanied by a drawing, which was then presented to the students.

Thanks to the teachers and students for this special moment, which reminds us how important the duty of remembrance is.
