Floriane's PEJ experience!



I would say that the PEJ experience has made me understand that sharing ideas and trying to be tolerant is very important. Also, I learnt to cope a little with the stress of having to speak in public.

I found out about European issues and institutions and how an assembly works.

I enjoyed the debates. The other delegates, who came from all over France were nice people.

I also liked the team building; through creative and physical activities we learnt how to solve problems through teamwork.

Roch's PEJ experience!

Roch & Rolex!

Sainte-Marie's pupils were divided into different committees. Roch was the only pupil from Sainte- Marie in his committee, but, fortunately, the team building games allowed the pupils to get to know each other and to learn to cooperate. Sainte-Marie's pupils were mixed with other pupils from different towns like Tours and Limoges. There were also three Greek pupils.

Rock got along particularly well with Limoges's pupils. He has kept in touch with them and he intends to see them again.

Roch enjoyed the trip to Sèvres. It raised his awareness of European issues. His worst moment was when he had to give a speech. He was stressed and he found nothing to say! He and his committee worked on the question of how the EU should react against the authoritative regime in Hungary.

His favourite moment was when a girl jumped on him during one of the theater sketches!

This PEJ experience also allowed Roch to get to know the other pupils in the Sainte-Marie delegation better.
