Ensaama is a showcase of French higher education programs in the field of design and arts & crafts. International relations contribute to maintaining excellence at an international level, and thus promoting French design and arts & crafts abroad. The development of courses in the field of design and the association of prestigious academic and professional partners with these programs has led to unequaled prestige abroad. The activities related to international relations - staff mobility for teaching, staff mobility for training, student mobility for studies, student mobility for training as well as workshops- have mostly taken place in Europe so far. The aims related to the project are multiple: they are cultural, linguistic, professional for our students.They also contribute to training, giving a rich experience and opening our staff to new educational practices as well as modernizing our institution. From a linguistic and cultural point of view, mobility abroad is an unparalleled experience which aims to develop one's linguistic competences in terms of oral fluency, as well as give up one's stereotypes and approach a different culture with a different rhythm of life, different codes, and thus understand what is at stake in terms of exchanges on a European scale. This unique experience enables students to open themselves, develop contacts and increase job opportunities. In a competitive international context both in terms of job market and education in the design field, programs should be built on a European or international scale. What is more, in the current economic context, the designer's role takes on a new dimension and our graduates have a central role to play in the modifications to come. Consequently, higher education design schools should become innovation centers bearing the indispensable mutations to the social and economic paradigms and to our companies' competitiveness. Mobility and transnational collaboration are at the heart of a dynamic innovative approach within more and more international teams at school and in the workplace . Two groups are targeted in terms of student mobility: students who have a compulsory work placement in their curriculum and DSAA (diplôme supérieur des arts appliqués et des métiers d'art) students (Master's students) who are encouraged to spend the second semester in one of our partner schools. As far as this project is concerned, six students did a mobility for studies, three of them in Denmark, two in Scotland and one in Germany. Out of the six participants, there are two graphic design students, and four students in spatial design, which is a highly dynamic department in terms of mobility and international openness in our school. Once they were back, the students recognized the benefits they gained in English in terms of fluency and the opportunity that was given to them to follow courses in their field of study in a foreign country. As far as traineeships are concerned, out of ten candidates, four of them went to England, three to Spain, one to the Netherlands as well as Denmark and Greece. They did their internships in agencies specializing in their field: graphic, product or textile design. They did activities related to design and creation: typography, layout, branding, drawing, illustration, advertising, research and experimentation as well as creation of patterns or products. Staff mobility for training took place in Italy and Norway in the teachers' design field, that is spatial design in an architecture agency, and arts & crafts.The other staff mobilities were practitioners invited to teach at our institution and share their experience of design on a European scale. Both students and staff mobilities contribute to our school's prestige abroad, to its modernizing strategy and to training young graduates with solid international experience.
