Project Summary

We are living in a society which is undergoing important changes. For many people these rapid changes occuring in our daily life have a disruptive effect. 6 schools of six different European countries with experiences decided to set up project with their students aged between 15 and 19. More than 60 young people enrolled in general and vocational education will be involved in this project, English being the communication language. The aim of the project is to help our young students to understand better Europe of tomorrow and how to act in it. “6! YES” (6 innovations: Young European Search) consists in searching six promising innovations by taking into account 6 important themes of our society (Early childhood, Communication, Tourism and cultural heritage, Disability, Environmental protection and New technologies). The project is scheduled between September 2018 and August 2020 and our students are asked to do researches, to imagine what the themes would be like in 2050, to develop innovations coming from their environments, to highlight them with the help of an audio-visual report, a book, an online research notebook and to make a presentation to the European Commission at the Parliament. The 6 teams decided to be accompanied by a group of voluntary European deputies. There are three main objectives:
1) Conducting a research and sharing results with other countries: Looking for innovations in 3 sectors out of 6 :Early childhood , Communication, Tourism and Cultural heritage, Disability, Environment, New technologies, being part of their setting up and communicating in English to highlight them with new technologies. Realise an intellectual work with the participation of students and pedagogical teams.
2) Developping professional competences for our students and adults team : work in a team, speak in front of a group, build schedules, create communication materials in English.
3) Knowing each other better to build a common European future respecting our cultural differences and heritage by communicating in English.
These ambitious objectives have been set by several but complementary educative teams originally from general and professional high schools. The success will be reached if we handle to communicate, organize ourselves and assess our final work. The common realisation of this file is an encouraging first step. We decided to be so numerous (6 high schools from 6 different countries) because we feel it is important to take a census of ideas, experiences and achievements from a representative sample of European diversity.
We really hope that they will find in the course of the project and the common actions the motivation to improve their skills within their work teams. It will help them to get a personal experience and to open them a door to their future professional life and turn them into responsible and undertaking adults. In this sense, the partners and their teams will diversify their activities and strengthen their educational missions. In their near environment and beyond their attachment to the European construction, to the participation in the local life and the education of young people is positive and meaningful. It is therefore clear that our project “6! YES” helps to raise a general awareness of European citizenship among all these who participate in the project.
