first I think you mean, joined, joint, or took part in.
To quickly address joined versus joint. If you are going for American English - joined. If you are going for British English - joint. (They are the same word, with no differences in use).
In this sentence though I would say 'took part in'. I would use this because of the definite article ('the').
If I used joined/joint I would add the word 'in' after it; 'joined in the'.

"Took part in" is the answer.
"Join" or related to joining a group and strictly describes no further action. here, the sentence identifies no group and the action is one of "participating" or "taking part".
