DE L'ECOLE A L'EMPLOI

Description

The topic chosen for this project was, FROM SCHOOL TO WORK, as it seemed to correspond to the expectations of our students and it was at the heart of their preoccupations. It is a reality that they are more and more confronted to choices of studies or professional course choices made complex by a constantly moving society. This project was aiming at opening doors to a world that they do not know well through the discovery of new patterns witnessed outside their environment. We have wished to add to this, across a number of cross-activities, exchanges with their foreign partners in the schools and in the host families, linguistic and citizenship values alongside with the idea of tolerance and the respect of differences. All our students come from very varied social and cultural backgrounds and conscious of this reality and diversity our goal has been to make them understand today's society and the role they will play in it in a very near future. As teachers and partners for 3 years now, we have wanted to renew this experience to further a reflection on a society getting everyday more European and to focus our study on the building of the future of our students. Our partnership has focused on the discovery of domains of studies and employment help through the making of short films, interviews, visits of schools, universities, apprenticeship centres, orientation and job centres,crossed activities related to these topics. For each mobility the students showed the film prepared before and watched their partners' . Then with the crossed activities they compared systems, reflected on the existing differences linked to the orientation practised in the schools of our partnership and drew conclusions with the help of assessment worksheets that we gave to them. When we visited the different universities, the professional and technical schools, the job centres, the youths and ourselves realized how different some practices are in our partner countries. We have done a large number of diverse activities during this project and they can be declined along three stages :- a preparation time before the mobility : interviews, surveys, realization of short movies;- during the mobility itself : watching the films and questionnaires on them, crossed activities, linguistic exchanges, assessments, visits of schools and life in the partner school.- assessment time after the mobility : personal assessment and public meetings. Thanks to this project we have reached some goals. The students have obviously discovered a new aspect relative to orientation, further studies and job employment.Our countries have different practices. But they have also realized that there exist some common points, some common values and that it is not so difficult to study in a country different from one's own.Another interesting positive point that we have noted is the acknowledgement from the others with all the cultural differences specific to them. We have put the accent on values such as respect and tolerance. This was essential in our project and all our activities have benefited from that. Our students have always made efforts of integration and have thus worked with a great unity.The third interesting point has been their ability at communicating in the group and with the adults. And they have done this in several languages. We heard them talk in French or in English but also in German, Spanish or Italian. They have had fun trying even Polish or Hungarian ! This linguistic aspect is undeniable. We can add to this the increasing oral qualities. We have seen our youths become more and more expert at expressing themselves in front of a large group of people especially at the end of a mobility. The impacts have thus been multiple be it for the students, the teachers, the parents or the schools. Thanks to this project we have benefited from a large recognition. The individual work experiences that we have developed in our schools through these two years have multiplied and this also is a factor of success. With this project we wished to give our students the taste for Europe, for mobility, for discovery and for exchange. We have seen them grow up, become more mature and confident. We wished to make them European citizens and in a certain way and at a certain level our project contributed to this.
