Learning French with Jean Jouet, CEO of ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih
On November 30, 2009, the French-born Jean Jouet, CEO of ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih, Ukraine, paid a visit to a local school to make his own and very personal present to the local pupils who are studying French as one of their main subjects. On the same occasion, the little polyglots had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions to ‘Monsieur Jouet’…
The pupils of this local secondary school are specialising in the study of foreign languages, including French. To make this learning process even more fascinating and interesting, Jean Jouet, CEO ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih, decided to meet with the pupils. He brought CDs with his favorite French singers and bands, as well as books of different authors from his homeland to the great pleasure of the young polyglots.
In fact, the CEO stressed that part of the educational process of learning a language was learning its culture. During his visit, Jean Jouet was able to talk to the pupils in French without requiring the services of an interpreter and he highly appreciated the level of their knowledge and motivation. Teachers and pupils hospitably met Jean Jouet and other ArcelorMittal guests in their French club “Bon Monde”.
As of today, almost 300 pupils of the school are studying English as their first language, and French as their second. In its position as global company present in more than 60 countries across the world, ArcelorMittal is eager to help young generations open up to new cultures and develop their language skills. In line with these efforts, ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih allocated UAH 135,000 (approx. €12,000) to this school for the acquisition of modern equipment for their 2 language laboratories.

It’s a pleasure for me to see how fruitful and helpful is the contribution of ArcelorMittal Kryvyj Rih for our city and for people of it . Many years ago I was the puipil of School #4 . Then after graduating from the University I came back to my School as a young teacher of English . Now I am proud to be an employee of ArcelorMittal Kryvyj Rih …and it’s so touching that our CEO Jean Jouet pays so much attention and cultivates the taste for French culture . Of course it will bear good fruit. Merci beaucoup!
