Inter-School Olympics 2025: A Day of Unity and Energy on Campus
Unity is strength — especially when it’s time for inter-school games! The campus recently hosted a special edition of the Inter-School Olympics, a festive and collaborative event that brought together three emblematic institutions: IEQT, École 42, and CSB.SCHOOL.
In a warm and high-energy atmosphere, students tackled a series of sports and team challenges. More than a simple competition, the day became a vibrant celebration of togetherness, mutual respect, and the diversity of student profiles across the campus.
Three Schools, One Shared Energy
While IEQT, École 42, and CSB.SCHOOL each bring distinct educational approaches, they share a common goal: to train committed, autonomous, and globally minded professionals. The Inter-School Olympics provided the perfect opportunity to break silos, mix student cultures, and spark new synergies.
Each school brought its unique identity:
🎓 IEQT: Known for its programs in risk management and quality.
💻 École 42: A pioneer in innovative, peer-to-peer computer science education.
🛡 CSB.SCHOOL: Specialized in training the cybersecurity experts of tomorrow.
Bringing students together created fresh encounters, spontaneous exchanges, and an energizing group dynamic.
A Variety of Fun and Inclusive Challenges
No need for an Olympic stadium — just a lawn, a few props, and plenty of enthusiasm! Throughout the day, mixed teams (with students from all three schools) faced off in a series of lighthearted yet strategic games, including:
-
Tug of War: Where teamwork and coordination were pushed to the limit.
-
Music Blind Test: A battle for audiophiles that sparked laughter and nostalgia.
-
Water Pong: A fun, tactical twist on a classic student game.
-
Molky: A Finnish throwing game that tested precision and surprised even the skeptics.
-
Musical Chairs, “1-2-3 Soleil” (Red Light, Green Light), and Le Béret: Childhood favorites reimagined for campus challenge mode.
These simple, inclusive activities encouraged everyone to join in, laugh, compete… and above all, create lasting memories.
The Power of Informal Moments
Between challenges, downtime proved just as valuable. It gave students the chance to share stories, discover one another’s backgrounds, discuss future projects and career goals — and, of course, talk video games, music, or travel.
These informal moments were at the heart of the event’s mission: promoting genuine human connection in a positive, open environment.
A Spirit of Teamwork and Joy
As the day went on, friendly rivalries gave way to solidarity across schools. Cheers, laughter, and applause set the rhythm of the event. Students showed that competition can — and should — coexist with respect, teamwork, and inclusion.
Educators and staff praised the maturity, enthusiasm, and self-organization of participants. Many students took the initiative to motivate teammates, support shy members, and invent new game twists.
Beyond Fun: A Collective Learning Experience
While entertaining, the Olympics were also deeply pedagogical and social. They addressed key objectives:
✅ Strengthening campus belonging
✅ Developing soft skills like teamwork, communication, and stress management
✅ Building a cross-school student network to foster collaboration
✅ And simply, cultivating the joy of learning together
The event was unanimously applauded by both students and faculty as a powerful driver of motivation and cohesion, to be replicated in future editions.
