The Erea of Rennes is a secondary school that welcomes 115 pupils from 13 to 19 years old. All of them have severe learning difficulties. Secondary school pupils receive an adapted teaching with 8 to 12 pupils per group. Upper secondary school pupils are taught general and technical subjects preparing for a social and professionnal integration via a CAP. For about 70 pupils, unfavourable social and familial environments justify that educators take care of them after school time in a boarding school. The synergia thus obtained creates favorable conditions for the upper secondary students. They are able to choose an orientation at the end of school and to succeed in social and professional integration. This struggle against failure and drop-out from school is expressed in actions made to overcome cultural, educational, emotional and health defiencies of our pupils. Since 2009, these actions have relied on a European opening through three multilateral partnerships, Leonardo mobility and the welcoming of a Comenius assistant. This year we have added the issue of « Improved standard of living together » as a new project at the establishment. This project is a part of an initiative towards our pupils, who have severe learning difficulties and who may even be suffering in different ways. « Improved standard of living together » is a project which will last several months or even years, and which is an ambitious project as such. The project implies that we are able to profoundly reflect on which actions we may take to improve the social environment at the EREA of Rennes. The project’s participants are confronted with the need to reflect on the issue, be further trained and exchange experiences. The last five years we have seen the positive effects of the European dimension we have introduced pedagogically and educationally at the EREA. We make the hypothesis that the teachers who are part of the ISLT project will find the necessary resources to accomplish the aims of the project through the European mobility programme. In light of these circumstances and previous experiences, we would like to offer eight members of staff the opportunity to partake in the European mobility. The group consists of educators, teachers and a school nurse. This training process goes clearly together with our plans to start a strategic educational partnership which we will introduce in spring 2015 in order to start in September 2015.
