No to early school leaving; yes to perseverance: prepare your professional future in Europe!We are four partners: a French secondary school, a French vocational high school, a Portuguese and an Italian secondary schools. Within our 4 schools, the same observation can be made: for pupils with academic weaknesses, thinking about educational and vocational guidance is complex, either they ignore it and let the adults decide for them or they feel anxious when dealing with choices. Teachers are also helpless and do not always know how to avoid school drop-out and how to help their students.Therefore, according to our common difficulties, we decided to get involved in a European project to tackle early school leaving and foster a selected orientation. We want to develop ambition among the most vulnerable students facing academic learning, remotivate them about their plan for the future, enhance Vocational Education and Training (VET) and promote mobility for students worried about travelling. Our European collaboration will allow us to develop common strategies in order to provide our pupils the most effective support.Each school will choose 6 students between the ages of 13 and 16, who feel insecure in their apprenticeships or dealing with school dropouts mixing boys and girls.The students will implement actions and achieve mobilities (2 mobilities in the first year and 2 in the second year). The students will visit vocational schools and companies to discover the professional families, this should fight gender stereotypes.They will visit various places, they will share about their experiences and create a game that allows them to know the countries of their partners.Thus, they will be able to discover Europe and develop their European citizenship.The professionals will share about teaching actions and methods and enhance innovating teaching practices in order to make a better diagnosis and fight against school drop-out. The different students’ works could be seen on eTwinning Twinspace, the students will add photos and videos that show the different steps of the project as well as the quiz (collaborative game).to discover the three countries’ culture. (France, Italy, Portugal) A steering committee will ensure the coherence and the assessment of the project. Professionals and learners will work together. Coordinators in charge in each country will be in contact regularly by email, at least once a month, and according to the needs. They could also use the Chat in the Twinspace and the sharing space. Each quarter, the coordinator will send to their partner a business plan with the tasks, the topics, the dates and the deadlines of each activity.The coordinators of each school will give all the information about the implementation of their project. Teachers and learners will carry out the activities linked to the project and give the results to the coordinators in order to send them to the main coordinator. The teachers involved in the project will put online the different activities on the schools’websites and on the project Twinspace.All along the project, the coordinators will discuss about the activities, their implementation, the progress of the project.They will share ideas and will suggest new activities. At the end of every year, each coordinator will send a report in which he will describe the activities carried out. The main coordinator will send an annual report to the National Agency. This accurate and regular monitoring will allow to check the progress and to validate the general goals. The expected results for the learners are: - increasing their involvement in their school guidance, - deepening their knowledge about training and professions and,- motivating them to organize their future here or in Europe as European citizens. As far as teachers are concerned, it will reinforce their knowledge about foreign educational systems, it will develop innovative practices in order to fight against school drop-out and promote a selected orientation for the pupils.In the long term, we would like to develop partnerships with vocational schools nearby but also with European schools and build together professional practices in order to help the students plan their orientation project and thus avoid early school leaving.
