This year, ASEICA students enjoyed a multitude of enriching experiences across Europe. From The Hague to Rome, via Amsterdam, London and Dublin, these trips allowed them to discover new cultures, deepen their learning and create unforgettable memories.
The Hague: Our high school students at the heart of international diplomacy
A delegation of high school students represented ASEICA at the annual THIMUN conference in The Hague, one of the largest Model United Nations gatherings in the world.
Alongside students from all corners of the globe, they debated major international issues, developed their negotiation skills and boosted their confidence in public speaking.
Amsterdam: History, Memory, and Immersive Experiences
The Year 5 students discovered Amsterdam through a program combining history and culture.
The visit to the Anne Frank House and the National Holocaust Names Memorial allowed them to better understand the realities of the Second World War and the importance of the duty to remember.
The journey continued with more immersive activities, including at the Amsterdam Dungeon and the Fabrique des Lumières, where digital art offered a spectacular visual experience.
London: an immersion in the world of theatre
Second and first year students immersed themselves in the world of London's famous West End.
The program includes three days of theatre workshops and the opportunity to attend three outstanding productions:
- Cabaret ;
- Mother Courage by Bertolt Brecht; ;
- The Play That Goes Wrong, a comedy that has become a real phenomenon in London.
This unique experience allowed them to discover the behind-the-scenes aspects of live performance while perfecting their English skills.
Rome: In the footsteps of emperors and gladiators
Twenty Year 7 students explored the fascinating history of ancient Rome.
From the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, they explored the iconic sites that shaped the history of the Roman Empire. Their trip continued to the Vatican, where they admired Renaissance masterpieces while deepening their historical and cultural knowledge.
Dublin: Discovering Ireland
Another key destination of the year: Dublin.
The Year 6 students explored the Irish capital through several iconic sites, including the statue of Molly Malone and the museum ship. Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship and Dublin Castle.
Each visit allowed them to learn more about the history, traditions and cultural identity of Ireland.
Equally exciting local discoveries
Learning was not limited to traveling abroad.
The Year 5 students from Eganaude visited a wastewater treatment plant in Cagnes-sur-Mer to better understand the issues related to the environment, water management and sustainable development.
In addition, the high school students worked on their annual theatrical production, The Three Musketeers, during a residency on the Lérins Islands, in an environment conducive to creativity and teamwork.
Educational projects that extend openness to the world
The students also participated in a two-day MUN conference in Monaco, developing their communication, argumentation and international cooperation skills.
For their part, Year 9 students from all schools attended an NT Live screening of ""Of Mice and Men"Â at the CIV cinema, introduced by the Pedagogical Director.
Learning differently
These trips, outings, and educational projects perfectly illustrate the richness of the educational experience offered at ASEICA. Beyond the knowledge acquired, they allow students to develop their autonomy, curiosity, cultural awareness, and self-confidence.
A huge thank you to all the teachers and staff members who organized, supported, and guided these experiences throughout the year. Thanks to their dedication, our students were able to learn, discover, and grow far beyond the classroom.
