Wear your trainers at school

To fight the disease, superheroes wear sneakers!

Join us for a charity run—get your school involved alongside ELA and help advance research into leukodystrophies.

The “Mets tes baskets et bats la maladie” campaign, approved by the French Ministry of Education and Youth, raises young people’s awareness of solidarity, citizenship, disability and respect for differences. The operation is free of charge and offered on a turnkey basis.

THE CONCEPT

ORGANISING

THE ELA DICTATION

THE ELA AMBASSADOR AWARD

I have participated in many Dictations and “Wear your trainers” operations! What I have tried to give, ELA gives me in return.

Béatrice Hess, Paralympic champion, honorary member of ELA

The whole family is mobilised for ELA: my wife is a PE teacher and organises the “Wear your trainers” operation in her school. Our son has grown up and become a top-level sportsman like me, he wears the colours of ELA. He has participated in Dictations and cross-country events.

Pupils should enjoy being together and help those who have less means than others.

It is a day that allows all students to unite around a common cause.

Guillaume Denis, PE teacher at Condorcet College in Bresles (60)

For us, the “Wear your trainers” operation is the best way to share values such as citizenship and acceptance of others who may be different. The students quickly understand what needs to be done and become motivated to find sponsors.

Pupils are future citizens, they need to learn how to get involved and show solidarity.
