Global Classroom LAU MUN

Malgré la crise économique et sanitaire, le Global Classroom LAU MUN (GC LAU MUN) a quand même eu

Six de nos élèves de Seconde et de Première, encadrés par Madame Rhéa Hélou, ont réussi à se démarquer
par leur implication, leur créativité, la qualité de leur discours, leur aptitude à négocier, et leur capacité à

Lors de la conférence finale, qui s’est tenue en ligne les samedi 20 et dimanche 21 mars 2021, ils ont ainsi
reçu des distinctions symboliques.
