The EPL of Laval (farming, food processing and equestrian training) would like to develop certain practices in the mid-term. To facilitate this, the EPL has defined certain short-term objectives: • To put in place a class with a ‘European Section’ within the Applied Bac (High School Diploma) stream • To set up a tripartite project: France, Poland and the Netherlands (2 years project/20 students) • To consolidate a system of European work placements in the technical and applied streams (bac stav and bac pro) – objective 20 students per year • To seek and develop partnerships with other European training/educational organizations The overall objective is to contribute to the mobility of our students during and/or after their studies with a view to expanding their skills and offering new experiences. This would allow them to work with European partners for whom English is the common or obligatory language. Since 2013, the study of English has been taught for applied, professional purposes and foreign exchanges are planned each year for the students. However, it would be desirable to develop these activities further. To this end the EPL has undertaken, for the period 2014 – 2016, to mobilise staff who are willing to rework their English language knowledge and skills within the equestrian and farming sectors and to exchange and discuss their teaching methods. After 2016, mobility for students and staff will be developed. • Mobilisation of staff volunteers, each year, in terms of our objectives on European development • A two-week work placement to mobilize students during their training course • The promotion of European voluntary service to mobilize students after their training course It is envisaged that follow-on actions could include participation in a future staff exchange programme.
