“HEIP Lyon is campaigning” challenge: and the winner is…
On December 16, the Challenge called “HEIP Lyon is campaigning” ended on the HEIP Lyon campus. An immersive educational exercise that took place over nearly 3 months, and which consisted of a simulation of a presidential election campaign.
Divided into 12 teams – 11 political parties and a media team – and supervised by coaches, the school’s 180 first and second year students had to build a program, create a poster, a slogan, a logo and a music video. campaign, write a profession of faith, take part in debates or carry out militant actions on or off campus.
