Two classes of final year commerce and sales trades produced four collective masterpieces. First of all the class of Siham Latreche, divided into two groups. The teacher explains that her students have to dedicate two hours a week to this project: "During these compulsory hours, they have to discuss and set it up, they create their mini-business, and are helped by Undertaking to learn, a federation of associations, which helps young people reveal their potential. Thanks to it, they will be able to exchange their ideas with entrepreneurs. »

Souheilla, the manager of the first group, explains the choice of the project: “Initially, we had started on making soaps, but we decided to give up, there were too many rules to respect. So our choice fell on the manufacture of candles accompanied by jewelry. For perfumes, we distributed a questionnaire in the school”. For Doryan, this collaboration is enriching: “We made a hundred candles, and we went to the merchants to collect jewelry, and everyone brought some home. It was real teamwork, everyone had their responsibilities, like in a real company”.

The second group under Isabelle's responsibility decided to make envelopes. They went to merchants to get lots. And it was a success, they received: gift vouchers, gift baskets, discount vouchers, glasses cases etc. As well as a scooter, it will be the jackpot, all purchasers of an envelope will participate in a special draw to win. For Isabelle, this project made it possible to work in a group and to help the most reserved.

The other class, led by Diamantina Lebrun, was also split into two groups. The first directed by Camille, Floriane and Théo. They made fifty Advent calendars. In each box recipes or creative children. They are visible through QR codes. Initially the choice was not unanimous, but then everyone got involved.

For these three projects, everything will be sold at the price of €4 on November 19 at the high school during the Christmas sale reserved for families, due to health instructions. The benefits will be reis to the association of parents of students. On the other hand, the last group organized an Escape Game before the All Saints holidays. Each participant gave 3 €, 600 € were collected, the sum will be donated to the charity association Entraide Denaisienne. A nice gesture that deserves to be saluted.
