The” Erasmus project named “Sharing professional practices” involves 2 high schools: Victor Hugo High School in Carpentras (France) and Lluis Simarro Institut in Xàtiva (Spain). Opening up is a key for these two high schools which have a strong experience in Erasmus projects. They can share their skills. They have now close relationships and they have signed an agreement with matching purposes. Thanks to the K 102 Eramus project (2017) 2 teachers (professional practices and Spanish) have created a Etwinning project named “VENDEMELO” (Sell it to me). This Etwinning project have matched French students from the European Spanish class in Reception Service Baccalauréat Professionnel with Spanish students from a Management and Administration Baccalaureat Professionnel class. They have created a Padlet wall to know each other. This new project involves all the students of the two classes. They are between 16 and 18 years old and have a humble social background. They are little or not motivated and need studies that make sense. This project is running on 2 years; it is about selling goods or services and gives the opportunity to analyse the Spanish and French companies, to work on language skills of French students and to move from theory to practice. This project is in 4 parts: From September 2019 to January 2020: the students will start their virtual company up. Working ahead of the first journey and on Twinspace will show the management skills of the Spanish students (specification, tendering process for an item or a service, mail, interview report…) and the skills in reception and selling of the French students (quotes, offering, commercial letters, phone calls…) In February 2020: the Spanish stay will focus on reception and selling skills. During the school exchanges, the Spanish students will be responsible for the French students while visiting the high school, the town and the companies. During the first stay, the French students will present their quotes in a one to one activity. Then they will analyse their work and visit some companies settled in France and in Spain. They will work on the companies’ chart and write short descriptions for each company. From March 2020 to January 2021: when they are back from Spain, the students will create on Twinspace a photo book with photos and information on various visits (cultural places, companies….). About the fictitious company, the students will keep on sharing by mail and phone. In February 2021: during the stay in France, we will focus on Management and Administration. After analysing we will compare the companies. The visit of the town will be prepared by the European section students and they will present this subject for the European oral diploma. From March to May 2021: the students will present the administration services and companies on Twinspace and they will send letters to thank all the high schools, the town halls, the administration services and the companies committed. Motivating the students while creating long-term relationships is the main objective. In terms of language, this school exchange will allow them to be more fluent in Spanish or French.

Thanks to the 2017 Erasmus project (Erasmus 2017 1 FR01-KA102-035713), the Mauthausen project – initiated by Simarró High School in Xàtiva (Spain)- has been entered into an international dimension. In this project, we will work on the duty of remembrance about the deportation and its various forms. There will be 3 times and it will be realized during the following meetings: first in Spain to understand the part of the Spanish deportees, then in Austria to take part in the special ceremony to commemorate the liberation of the Mauthausen camp, finally in France to study the French view and make a summary of the project. Common objectives for all the partners: - sharing the common values by understanding the deportation phenomenon and the sufferings shared by the European peoples; - promoting the awareness and developing civic and intercultural skills; - understanding the migration issues to promote the European identity; - pooling the works and trying creative and digital practices; - encouraging the intercultural dialogue between teachers and students and by this way improving the language skills. 25 teachers are leading the project and are preparing actions and works with their own classes.
