The “Social Inclusion by Olympism, European Citizenship and Foreign Languages, towards academic success” project is a partnership school exchange project between two countries (France and Italy), based on the school/secondary school link of which the main priority is social inclusion. An important place is equally given to languages teaching and learning but, also in order to prevent dropping out of school, to the academic difficulties combat.Eight classes (Year 6 / quinta class and Year 7, aged from 9 to 11) and 11 teachers are committed to this two-years project that we have decided to develop for several reasons:- the significant number and diversity of pupils with special needs in our schools;- the requirement of a strong link between primary and secondary schools;- the increasing cultural diversity of the pupils- the weak, even non-existent, sense of belonging to a country, to Europe- the social and academic difficulties which are often a conveyor of a negative representation of our schools.The project team has settled several goals:- Improve the quality of teaching and learning using the discovery, the share and study of new inclusion practices.- Broaden pupils’ horizon and develop European citizenship using the discovery and the interest aroused by another culture which permit to acquire new skills in foreign languages.- Settle pupils’ academic success with the help of a major project which gives meaning to the learnings and in which each pupil will be able to fulfil himself/herself according to his/her skills.- To the level of schools: sharpen teamwork, improve our schools and secondary schools influence and strengthen European dimension to our projects.To achieve these goals, we chose to carry out this project during two years: In the course of the first year with mobilities for teachers whose principal goal is to observe and exchange on the topic of inclusion in order to develop a repertoire of shared tools then mobilities for pupils during the second year. Transnational meetings and virtual exchanges are as well regularly organised in order to validate the schedule, the events and the activities planned in the schools throughout the project: about cultural discovery and living languages learning, the knowledge of Europe and of Olympic games (European Day of Languages / Erasmus Day / Europe Day / Olympic and Paralympic Week… ) but also to regulate the progress of the project and lay intermediary and final reports out.For a good continuity of the project, we have decided to settle clear tasks and responsibilities sharing for everyone since the beginning of it, a common schedule, clearly identified means of communication.
