650,000 budget planned by the department
The “130 countries in 130 colleges” project is divided into three sections, like the Olympic medals. The bronze classification includes, among other things, an outing related to the chosen country, while the bronze level provides for meetings with athletes. Through the gold classification, a school trip to the designated country, if the latter is European, can be carried out.
The department of Seine-Saint-Denis plans a budget of 650 000 euros for his operation. If the commitment of the 130 colleges of the department is intended to be progressive, 30 of them are already involved in the project for 2022.
