Click on the image to listen to the Radio Clype programmes

Two different kinds of radio programmes were made during the two years.  One during the mobilities to Paris (January 2011, January 2012): French students interviewed their guests (students and teachers) about the visits they had made, the host families, their impressions, and the activities in Paris. These interviews were carried out within the studio of Radio Clype in Paris.  The other programme was made in each country and sent to France: in 2011, the students of the seven counties described a famous touristic place worth visiting, in English and their mother tongue. In 2012, students recorded one or several traditional recipes of their country or region.

It was translated into English by the Polish team and then into Catalan by the Spanish team; it was sung on the Day of Europe, May 9th 2012, during the last mobility to Spain.

Lycée Colbert is located in the North East of Paris, close to Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est.

It is a classical Lycée, with students aged from 14 to 19, from various origins. A lot of families face financial difficulties, and do not have the opportunity to travel a lot. Many of them come from Northern Africa, but also from Eastern Europe, China or India. We also have bobos students, as our district which is close to the Canal Saint Martin is the home of a lot of artists.

There are approximately 600 students in 22 classes, and 60 teachers. English, Spanish, German, Russian and Hebrew are taught and the students have to learn two foreign languages. Some subjects are optional, such as arts or economy.

There are also extra curricular activities such as drama, sports or cinema.

Our principal intends to start a Classe européenne next year, which is a class in which a subject such as history or science is taught in a foreign language, most of the time English.

So The Comenius programme is an opportunity for our students to get acquainted with students from all over Europe and exchange ideas and experiences.
