From April 21 to 23, 2027, 50 3rd-grade students from Jean Lurçat college in Sarcelles, accompanied by the ULIS program, will embark on a civic journey focused on memory and European construction.

Driven by two history-geography teachers from the Jean Lurçat college in Sarcelles, this project aims to provide students with a concrete understanding of history by visiting emblematic sites. The trip, scheduled from April 21 to 23, 2027, will involve 50 3rd-grade students, including those from the ULIS program.
The memorial and educational journey will include three key stages: Verdun to grasp the violence of World War I, the Struthof to confront the reality of the Nazi concentrationary system during World War II, and Strasbourg to discover European institutions and the process of peace building.
The institution emphasizes that supporting this project promotes equal opportunities, encourages living together, and gives practical dimension to school learning. A solidarity collection is underway on the Trousse à projets platform to reduce costs for families and make this civic initiative a reality.
