Language, trips and cooperation

We started the day with a Pilates session, followed by “French for Breakfast,” a short language introduction where participants learned basic French phrases while enjoying local breakfast items.

The USAAR delegation had a guided tour of the campus and took part in an exchange with their counterparts at the Maison de l’Université. They later joined the Steering Committee for a shared buffet lunch.

The Steering Committee met throughout the day to discuss key and strategic topics for the future of the alliance.

Students had classes in the morning, followed by lunch at the university restaurant (CROUS). In the afternoon, they explored the city during a Treasure Hunt. This activity led them through emblematic places in Saint-Étienne, where they worked in teams and captured the experience with photos.
