The film « The Odyssey », released in the summer of 2026, has brought the myth of Ulysses and the Trojan War back into the cultural spotlight. This work provided a unique opportunity for students in the Master's program in Teaching Section 3 (French / Ancient Languages) at Loverval to compare their knowledge of Homer's work with a modern interpretation of the Ulysses myth.
Students and teachers gathered at the Pathé cinema in Charleroi to watch this film shot in IMAX. This outing is part of a pedagogical initiative that connects ancient works with today's teaching practices.
Mythology plays a significant role in the core curriculum. Students explore various approaches, including translating Latin texts to deepen their understanding of the literary and linguistic heritage, conducting research, and giving presentations. Third-year students were also challenged to create a podcast about mythology, complete with teaching strategies for their future students.
To bring the works and stories of the past to life for their students, by mobilizing varied approaches and tools adapted to the realities of today's schools.
This program, focused on French and Ancient Languages, blends mastery of cultural references, passion for languages, and creativity development. The goal is to prepare future teachers to engage their students with the heritage of the past, using diverse methods and tools relevant to contemporary education.
