Banque Libano-Française offers 18 Youth Packages to “La Course aux nombres” winners
Banque Libano-Française (BLF) supported “La Course aux nombres” in order to ritualize the
mental arithmetic practice at class, and encourage students to refine their knowledge, enhance
their skills, take initiatives and elaborate time-limited strategies.
The “Course aux nombres” is a mental arithmetic competition organized by the Groupe de
Recherche pour l’Enseignement des Mathématiques (GREM) related to the Agency for French
Teaching Abroad (AEFE).
More than 11,000 students from grade five till ten representing 19 schools in Lebanon
participated in this competition. The finals gathered more than 110 best students, of whom 18
were rewarded for their excellent results. Winners were granted trophies and BLF Youth
Packages during a ceremony held on Saturday 21 June at the French Institute of Lebanon in the
presence of representatives from GREM, AEFE, the “Service Culturel” of the French Embassy,
BLF and participating schools.
A partner for youth ambitions, BLF supports several education and entertainment activities that
target them. Furthermore, the Bank strives to guide them in their career by initiating them to
the banking sector through conferences and recruitment forums in universities, as well as open
days at its premises. Also, to help them manage their finances independently, the Bank offers
them the “Youth Package” that is coupled with exclusive advantages.
