The secondary school is located in the rural area of Belleville, in the heart of the Beaujolais region in the Rhône-Alpes. Our school is situated at a European crossroads, a thriving area in terms of both economy and tourism.Our ‘lycée polyvalent’ (a secondary school which caters for both vocational and academic subjects) offers students an education in general, technical and professional fields. Our project will concern 35 students who are studying for the Baccalauréat in either Catering, Administration or Health and Social Care. The steering committee is constituted of teachers of vocational subjects , English teachers, the chef de travaux and the financial secretary.Our project is included in the Plan de Développement Européen of our lycée (see website). A collective reflection allowed us to list all the projects linked to one of the main goals of our lycée : To offer exposure to international experiences.Within the vocational part of the school , we need to organise the mobility of learners and staff which will contribute to the achievement of specific objectives. Our objectives are linked to the following three themes : 1. EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP, AWARENESS AND DEMOCRACY:. To develop amongst our students a feeling of belonging to the European Union ;. To discover another culture, to contribute to social cohesion ;. To discover and learn different working techniques and how other businesses function ;. To create a network of contacts in the host country ;. To give a modern and European dimension to our teaching mission.2. TEACHING AND LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES:. To give a sense of learning a ‘living’ language and to deepen the students’ linguistic competence in preparation for their future career ;. To support the school's non-linguistic teaching staff to learn English.3. REGIONAL EXTENT AND COOPERATION :. To create a network of partners linked with our vocational subjects for both our regional sector and that of the collaborating country ;. To cooperate with a sector which exports the label “Bistrot Beaujolais” abroad ;. To reinforce cooperation between the world of education and the world of work ;. To create a recruitment pool of qualified young people who have the capacity to respond to the expectations of regional businesses and therefore to develop their employability.Our project is spread across 24 months. Our wish is to send a group of students during the school year 2016-2017 and another group the following year. Each group is made up of students from the three vocational fields. To select the participants, we have established a very precise list of criteria.The job-shadowing will take place during the first months of the school year in order to allow us to disseminate and use the knowledge and skills acquired with our learners and within the school.Our partner organisation selects host families as well as businesses, resolves problems of discipline and adaptation to the country and monitors the work experience of each student. It coordinates a week of vocational English classes. It will host two of our learners.The work experience abroad will be preceded and followed by internal or external activities at the school in liaison with partners in the area. While abroad, the students will be supervised by our partner organisation and the French teachers. To manage this project to the best of our ability we have adhered to the following: put in place a steering committee, with a defined role for each person, create a Retroplanning and a Dissemination Plan, approached partners in our region, established a provisional budget, listed the inherent constraints of the project.In addition to the development of linguistic competence and skills to help in the acquisition of a diploma, this experience will allow students to develop their adaptability to new environments, to reinforce their feeling of membership in the European Union, to give added meaning and value (Europro, Euromobipro) to their chosen path. Furthermore, the ownership of the EUROPASS will enable students to consider jobs abroad.As far as the school and staff are concerned, the mobility will strengthen, modernise and europeanise our vocational department and reinforce our involvement in the overall mission of the lycée, which promotes cultural and international exposure. It will also bring together the teams of teachers involved in the project and establish a partnership between the school and the professional working world.Overall, our school, thanks to different contacts and to communication surrounding the project, can be recognised as a partner source. This truly useful mobility would bring us financial support, attract more learners to the programme and legitimise the beginning of a EURO class in which one of our teacher is involved.
