Discover two inspiring initiatives: XL Factory and XL Blue Walk 2024

Step into the Metaverse with XL Factory

Imagine a world where learning transcends physical boundaries. At Excelia Communication School, this concept has become reality with our XL Factory, an innovative space of some 100 m²! As a veritable hub of collective intelligence, XL Factory makes use of the Metaverse to offer an immersive learning environment. Here, students and teachers can interact in a dynamic digital landscape, encouraging collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

There are also facilities for prototyping and experimenting with mock-ups of the projects you design, with editing tools, motion design tools, interactive screens and even the possibility of recording video footage to showcase your ideas

What exactly is the Metaverse?

The Metaverse is a virtual reality space where you can interact within a computer-generated environment and with other users. This tool offers immersive experiences that transcend the boundaries of a conventional classroom.

You can…

  • participate in virtual lessons by attending interactive lectures and workshops
  • work collaboratively on group projects in real time, wherever you may be
  • experience simulations by applying classroom theory to real-life scenarios, from marketing campaigns to crisis management exercises

By incorporating the Metaverse into our teaching methods, we aim to ensure that you are not simply a consumer of information, but an active contributor to your own education.

 

XL Blue Walk… an educational adventure with a focus on water

At Excelia Communication School, innovation isn’t just about digital technology! We believe in the power of experiential learning, and our XL Blue Walk in 2024 is a perfect example.

What is the XL Blue Walk 2024?

The XL Blue Walk 2024 was an innovative initiative in which a group of students led by a team of Excelia teachers undertook an educational experience of several weeks, outside of the conventional classroom, exploring in depth the theme of water. This impressive hike linked Excelia’s campuses… from La Rochelle to Paris via our Niort site, then Tours and Orleans. The initiative placed a strong emphasis on experiential learning, reflection, and connecting with the environment.

The XL Blue Walk 2024 gave students the opportunity…

  • to develop soft skills by taking part in an adventure that inspired them to surpass themselves, encouraged cooperation, and taught them to deal with their emotions
  • to become ecological champions by exploring the issues surrounding water and the ecological transition
  • to enjoy a truly human experience, forging lasting links and creating unforgettable memories… an experience rich in learning and emotions
  • to discover the natural environment by exploring a variety of landscapes, whilst reinforcing their understanding of environmental issues and sustainability… an adventure to discover and connect with our planet
  • to boost a sense of team spirit by taking part in group activities that encourage leadership and problem-solving
  • to meet with experts and hear inspiring testimonials from key players in the ecological transition

The XL Blue Walk 2024 was much more than a simple field trip, it was an immersive educational experience to enhance the participants’ vision of the world and their relationship with others.

Maëna: “I was keen to live a positive human experience, to push myself and test my limits. The XL Blue Walk was a personal challenge that enabled me to not only get to know myself better but also to meet new people. Plus, the focus on water was so interesting. From an early age, I learned not to waste water and that it’s a precious resource… so this adventure was the perfect opportunity to explore the different issues and challenges of water management in France.”

David: “I attended the neuroscience module run by Guillaume de Saint Louvent which involved a 3-day trek from La Rochelle to the Baleine lighthouse on the Ile de Ré. I love hiking! In fact, last year I climbed up a volcano in Bali, Indonesia. I really enjoy pushing myself and leaving my comfort zone. So, taking part in the XL Blue Walk certainly was a personal challenge, especially in terms of walking 650 km! What’s more, it was a great opportunity to study the world of water, the issues of water management and water consumption in companies."
