This ERASMUS + mobility consortium for VET students in Lorraine, also known as MELYPROLOR 5 (in French, consortium de Mobilité pour les LYcéens en formation PROfessionnelle en LORraine), is in line with group projects of the previous programme LEONARDO or ERASMUS+ KA1. It is brought by the DAREIC (Délégation Académique aux relations Européennes, Internationales et à la Coopération) and the GIP (Groupement d'Intérêt Public) "Formation tout au long de la vie" of the académie de Nancy-Metz (Nancy-Metz Education Authority). A steering group (with members of the DAREIC and the GIP as well as 2 representatives of 2 schools that are members of the 5th consortium and the former group projects) will deal with devising, following and managing the projet. The person in charge of projects as well as the administratitve assistant in the DAREIC (whose mission is to favour the European and international mobility of students in the académie) will be the permanent link between the mobility management committees in every school of the consortium. The project meets the goals and priorities of ERASMUS + in the field of vocational education and training – that is to say enabling the greatest number of students to take part in a quality European mobility and enhancing the cooperation between vocational schools and companies via the mobilities of staff members.MELYPROLOR 5 brings together 23 vocational, comprehensive and trades schools of the académie. 19 of them already took part in one of the previous projects, which highlights the interest that these schools have found in this opportunity to join a group European project. It will permit traineeship abroad mobilities for 381 students of Première or Terminale (Year 12 or 13) over a period of 14, 28, 35 or 58 days, including 8 students with fewer opportunities and 1 partially-deaf student who will be integrated to a group of 4 other students. It will also involve 135 accompagnying members of staff including 16 to go with the 8 students mentioned above, as well as 36 teachers in staff training over a period of 5 or 7 days. The different mobilities will concern 11 European countries, over a period of 2 years. The mobility management committees of 2 schools with experience in VET traineeship abroad will be more precisely in charge of the students with fewer opportunities and will be able to assess new tools and adapted methods at the end of the project and share their knowledge with all the MELYPROLOR 5 partners. This tool sharing is already carried out via the collaborative platform open to all the members of the consortium. It has improved over the different group projects and from this year, it offers new tools such as a form with the names of companies ready to answer the requests of new schools (either in the same domain or in additional domains) or a European citizenship questionnaire taken before and after the mobility. The mobilities are envisaged in 31 domains, from the restaurant industry to the art embroidery including the stone trades or the maintenance of industrial equipments.Whatever their course, the students of the technology and vocational schools often form a weakened public, not very prone to move, which is particularly the case in Lorraine (as the figures show). Thanks to the European mobility, they will develop their professional skills in a different setting as well as their language skills. They will also acquire autonomy, self-confidence, capacity for adaptation to constraints and new working methods – some qualities that will make their insertion in the working world easier, be it in France, in one of the 3 border countries or elsewhere. Beyond the accompanying staff, often indispensable at the beginning and/or at the end of the mobility (since the students are still minors), the opportunity to include training mobilities for the school staff in this project gives these people the possibility to integrate in the receiving companies, to develop a partnership over time, to assess everyone’s expectations, to negociate the training contents at best, and for some of them to register for the certification in the teaching of a subject in a foreign language (CLIL lessons).The students who will benefit from the mobilities as part of the MELYPROLOR project will have demonstrated their motivation before the departure and will build their project before, during and after the mobility with the members of the management committee along with the families and the consortium steering group. The first expected concrete result will be the validation of the EuroMobiPro certificate which, along with the EUROPASS certificate, will be added to the students’ diploma. The project will enable the partner schools to get a more positive image and to meet the regional priorities such as combating early-school leaving. It will also permit the académie to broaden the existing links in Europe to new countries, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe.
