BALC’on

The Linguistic and Cultural Integration Bath or BALC’on is out of the ordinary two weeks. Without lessons, without homework or exams, without traditional classes

Two weeks to get to know yourself and others, to free yourself from the shackles that limit your imagination and creativity, to learn to express your talent and unleash your potential. Finally two weeks to open your curiosity and start to (re) build your culture.

Le Balc’on is also a period of integration, openness to the world and initiation to collaborative work. The latter is the norm in companies, where solitary adventures have no place. Because “one and one make three”, learning to collaborate means giving yourself the means to go far beyond your own limits.

In a rapidly changing world, the only thing we can be sure of is that most of today’s graduates will be in jobs that are still unknown to us.

How can you prepare for it other than by developing your potential and your ability to learn and evolve?
If not by cultivating your curiosity, your sensitivity to the environment, your ability to evolve, your agility?
How can we prepare for it better than by reinforcing our culture which is – according to the well-known word – what stays in the mind when we have forgotten everything?

It is for all this that the Balc’on is preparing them, the first step in the great adventure, which opens to them by crossing the threshold of the school. To open your eyes to the vast world and its ideas. To breathe the fresh sea air, to deploy their sails to the winds of knowledge.
