Project Summary

A daring association that combines festive, culinary and heritage arrangements in a logic of European openness.

The following dimensions are highlighted:
– Context and objectives
Heritage and art of living are widely available and are at the crossroads of the cultural, the emotional and the social.
It is also a European project intended to create tools making it possible to carry out educational work with the teenagers on a European dimension which touches the culture, the inheritance, the history and the daily life.
In and with the activities carried out we want to:
* Develop self-respect and autonomy
* Promote respect for others and solidarity
* Raise awareness of respect, protection of the environment and heritage
* Know one’s history and culture and share them in a logic of conviviality
* Become an informed and responsible European citizen
* Promote culture as a factor of balance
* Highlight the French language and culture

– Number and profile of participants
About 50 students per school, about half of which will participate in mobility, i.e. for the 5 schools, 250 students impacted by the project.
We will involve students with a heterogeneous and complementary profile with particular attention paid to at least twenty young people with either the least opportunities (4 to 5 per school).
We also intend to promote the inclusion process. About 10 teachers per school will participate in the project.
In addition to these 260-270 participants, between 200 and 400 other indirect beneficiaries may participate in certain activities.
Other partners linked to the project (management, accounting agents, administrators, etc.) or outside will be mobilized according to the actions and needs of the activities.

– Description of activities
With the exception of coordination and financial management, all activities involve and mobilize students.
The results will be expressed in French (a brief summary may be in English).
The activities selected are essentially:
* Debates and conferences
* Courses and knowledge contributions
* Realizations of quizzes, logos, videos etc
* Visits to sites and monuments
* A theater and knowledge game activity
* Culinary workshops with creation of European tables
* Exhibition visits
* Workshops involving professionals
These elements will be supplemented by evaluation sessions as well as by activities intended to promote the dissemination of the project: ERASMUS + space, website, Europe Day, various events.

– Methodology
The French coordinator MFR AGENCOURT coordinates at his school and transnational level. Local coordinators and partners coordinate at their school level.
Work tools, meetings, evaluation grids allow the progress of the project to be measured with the students and teachers involved and mobilized.

– Impacts and results
The main expected impacts are educational and cultural. Our students, by becoming more informed citizens, benefit from real European cultural openness.
Our schools, our teachers and our partners can open up more to other European cultures with all the activities proposed with the project.

– Long-term benefits
The activities carried out, the dissemination elements put in place can benefit all of the educational communities peripheral to the project.
European culture is strengthened and partners between schools and between teachers can continue on other subjects.

In a logic of dissemination, the ERASMUS space, the Europe day … etc can also contribute to accentuate the long-term benefits.
