Sporting encounters

Presentation

So, you don’t think it’s possible to do sports and learn a language at the same time? It sure is! By participating in a sports meeting organized by one of our partners, you can travel to Germany or France where you will train in your favorite sport while improving your linguistic skills and your knowledge of the culture of the partner country.

During this summer camp program, you’ll have the chance to do youth sports with young French and Germans of your age and equally passionate about sports as you are. When you’re not doing sports, you can get to know one another and improve your language skills during intercultural activities.

If you don’t speak German or French very well, don’t worry! You can learn while having fun during language animation activities.

Whether you are an amateur or a future pro, it’s time to push your limits and make new friendships during this international exchange!

Advantages of the program

Experience sports in a different way

You get a chance to do sports with French and Germans without competing with them. Sharing and exchanging are the core values of these meetings.

A new way of travelling

You’re not going to Germany or France only to taste the Currywurst or to see the Eiffel Tower. You won’t be going on just any old tourist trip in these countries, your aim is to learn about their culture regarding sports, where excellence, respect for oneself and those around you, as well as team spirit, are also cultivated.

A genuine intercultural experience

During this exchange, you will constantly be in contact with young people from France and Germany. You can experience their lifestyle and culture during the meetings or while staying with your host family.
